One of the  nicest things about this blog is that it is helping people get in contact. Since discovering Mick Barrett's website I have now been in contact with him and he tells me that his son Daniel now has a little daughter called Sienna - another cousin for the family tree! Congratulations Daniel. 

I have also spoken to Mick's mother, Peggy, and although she has had some poor health recently she seems quite chirpy for an 88 year old. Alvin and I are going to visit her in August.

Also I'm now in contact with Cheryl cousin Alva's daughter and Alvin's niece.  The names keep rolling in!

A couple of blog regulars have asked me if it is possible to provide an index to the blog. If you want to see if a particular relative has been mentioned in one of the posts you can do this by writing the name into the the search bar which you will find at the top left hand corner of the main page, just above the title picture. Click the magnifying glass next to it and you will be taken to the posts where the person is mentioned. This will also work for street names or any other subjects
