@louannwarren Thank you for your comment Lou Ann, not sure if DNA would cause any problem for me, its all the skeletons in the cupboard you discover in your families past, my wife has uncovered things about both our families that would have been better left in the past, lol:)
It is a pastime that never ends. Just when you think you can't get any further with tracing family history, something else turns up and you just keep going.
@bella_ss Thank you for your comment Sheralee, my wife is the family genealogist it all started after our niece in Brisbane asked about the family history, Jenny started with my side first then hers and was stonewalled by her father, turned out his father was not and he never was told who he was, there were one or two illegitimate children further back, plus a great great grandfather that was murdered and his body thrown into the Thames at Richmond, on my side a sister that's not my sister, she was adopted after her parents were killed in wwii, a great grandmother that was illegitimate by a son of a family she was a servant to and lots more:)
@onewing Your absolutely correct Babs Jenny thinks she has gone back as for as she can then finds some additional information then she is off on another line:)
@stray_shooter No mystery at all I wanted to concentrate the eye on the book Ron, btw its me reading or should I say hiding the remote trigger in the book, lol:)
@pcoulson Oh my goodness!! That's amazing that one family could have so many unknown things to find. So shocking to find that your sister was adopted but it was common to keep it a secret back then. I knew my cousin's dad was not her dad and she didn't find out until she had to get her birth certificate for her wedding!
