40 years ago!
While I was in bed with flu I watched several programmes in the series 'Who do you think you are?' It made me think perhaps it would be fun to do my family tree so that my granddaughters in Australia would have some reminder of their UK heritage.
Christmas 2009
As all my aunts and uncles, parents and a few cousins are no longer with us and other cousins and their children have married, moved and are no longer contactable, I had to rely on my memory. Of course, when doing trees you find they have multiple branches that get very tangled and go off in all directions - 4 sets of grandparents for my husband and I (5 actually as one remarried) for starters
Talk about not being able to see the wood for the trees! - in 3 days I have named and written down 118 relatives connected to the McCue/Tarrant family tree. It is so addictive too. I've found a couple of skeletons in the cupboard and look forward to learning more about our various ancestors in the coming months.
