My Grandmother had some photos, but we didn't know some of the people in them. My hubby is going to ask if his siblings have any photos so that he'll be able to keep them safe and record the details. <br />He loves spreadsheets so a family tree should be right up his street. <br />Ooh tin miners from Cornwall... have you seen the new tv programme 'Poldark'. (He's causing quite a stir but for different reasons) It might be interesting for you to see. <br />Have a great week and hugs to you too ;DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-22516955813368409472017-07-24T09:18:28.424+01:002017-07-24T09:18:28.424+01:00I have thought about doing it a few times.

I don't even know what my grandma's maiden name was. My Dad passed away when I was young and although we lived in his parents house there was no record of them living there ?? I've always said I'd try again some day but there's always something else to do. Plus, I don't even have my grandma or mum around to ask anymore.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922568143111623696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-60367348186002991252017-07-23T20:49:44.669+01:002017-07-23T20:49:44.669+01:00Great photos!!

Ancestry...my mom's family comes from Cornwall and were tin miners. my father's parents are from Finland and Sweden, far far north of each of those. I loved learning about my family tree and hearing their stories. Have a wonderful weekend.

You can't help but be captivated by the history of your roots...well not in my opinion anyway.<br />Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-8162201186596672562017-07-23T12:50:54.709+01:002017-07-23T12:50:54.709+01:00Ahh another DNA tester.

I got info from cousins who had done a lot of work (pre computer) and entered into the family tree on ancestry and did more work for over a year. That Christmas I gave access to the tree as my present to siblings, cousins, nephews, etc. There wasn't any reason for them or their children to make new trees. They just keep adding to it.Carol @Comfort Spring Stationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308702098757071897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-50237857951918153142017-07-23T12:14:13.111+01:002017-07-23T12:14:13.111+01:00Thanks Darren, I love old black and white photo...Thanks Darren, I love old black and white photo's and these are certainly special to me.<br />Thanks for hosting too.
