I'm going to see a relative again tomorrow that i didn't know anything about before i started doing my family tree. He's my grandma's nephew and he's told me bits about his life and his family that i've been able to add to my tree. He's got some lovely old photo's on the wall of when he was a child and of his parents. When i go to visit him tomorrow i'll be taking him a birthday cake as he'll be 93 years old and i'll tell you what, he doesn't look a day over 70!! He's got all his faculties about him and he's really funny! The stories he's told.. Anyway, i know this isn't a tip but i just wanted to share my story with you all. I'd never have known about him if i hadn't started doing this fascinating hobby! Tracey, Bolton

Tracey, what a great story. When I started on my family history a couple of years ago, I found my father's brother through 192.com, I hadn't seen him for over 20 years, and he had so much to tell me about my father. Don't forget to take your camera, and have a wonderful day. Ros
