On
Tuesday I wrote about trying to locate a couple of friends we had lost touch
with.
I
posted an enquiry on a genealogy web site, one of the members located a likely
name and an email , and what was in my
inbox today when I turned on the computer?
Yup
you guessed it, an email from them. And how serendipitous is that…
They
are moving back to Oz within the next couple of weeks.
Talking
or at least writing about genealogy I have decided to give my Harvey research
another going over.
OK I
know I said that I was going to put it to bed and concentrate on other lines.
But something keeps drawing me back.
So
today I looked at the 1901 census where I see my grandfather as a ten year old.
I trolled through the entire section that he was in and came across two other
Harvey families.
You
might ask what is the point of starting over?
Well
the experts say when faced with the proverbial brick wall go back and check
every single detail.
And
that is what I am going to do.
A
couple of days ago we had an email from the people who look after our property back
home in NZ. Seems the hot water cylinder dumped its entire contents all over
the floor.
Ah,
it never rains but it pours doesn’t it. We have just about recovered from
having the place a painted, and now this. On the plus side in tonight’s emails
was one from the insurance assessor saying that there has been no structure damage.
What is it that they say
about clouds having silver linings, well maybe not a cloud, but it certainly
must have seemed like a cloudburst to the tenants
