I find this very interesting as my great grandparents are Frank and Catherine. My grandfather William was there son. ( also known as Sonny)He was close with Jim as well as my father Larry. I dont know how this web page works, but hoping I can find my way back! My name is Kelli Bowman by the way.

We found my DH's aunt - twin to his father - via a letter that we sent to a BBC Radio programme.<br />I also found a whole host of my mother's distant family via an entry in a book that I was helping to re-write/update during my working life. That has been so wonderful as I am now regarded as family and invited to family reunions even organising it one year this side of the pond. Also at our very first meeting - not even having photos to go on - my DH said I don't know if this (spotting a person coming across the hotel carpark) is the person we are to meet but if not she's your mother walking!<br /><br />Go for it they can only ignore you if they are not interested.<br /><br />Blodwyninexilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852174180640555041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-59062170693234991342015-03-04T19:03:09.121-05:002015-03-04T19:03:09.121-05:00I agree he'll either say oh that's interes...I agree he'll either say oh that's interesting or say get lost!!

Of course, I had one person threaten me with telephone harassment after he gave me his son's number. Another just hung up and the third argued with me. I am a cousin to all three, so I was not just fishing.<br /><br />Even the fact my grandfather died of TB in 1939 was shameful. My 17-yr-old aunt committed suicide when she contracted it. So, suicide and TB were shameful. My grandmother died in 1963 of Alzheimers before it was named. <br /><br />All you have found is so interesting.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
