Hello!

I met the lady being interviewed in the photo  - Arranroots, perhaps?? She told me about this great website. I know you probably don't remember me I was there was my mum about 12 ish.... you must've seen hundreds of people that day.

Anyway, this is a very good website. I didn't realise you knew Graceland as well, he DOES get about a bit doesn't he??!

Welcome on board BagpussBee

Forgive me if I say it was all a bit of a blur.  Were you the one with blue eyes?  LOL!!

I do remember some of the names people were researching and there were some very moving stories, including the gentleman in his 80s who was starting his family history after the death of his son.

Graceland was amazing and even surprised himself that he could talk so much!!  As for "getting about" - I couldn't possibly comment!!

I see the membership has increased substantially since Friday..

Membership up 150+?   Wonder how many from Gloucestershire?

I talked to a gentleman who has a photo of a ??xxxgreat aunt wearing "Nelson's" cloak, the story has come down through his family.  The brother of the aunt worked for the Admiralty in the early 1800's.  It was suggested he got in touch with the Maritime Museum.

Apparently the photo needs a bit of a clean-up so hopefully he will post on here.

Must admit I'm a bit worried about interested inwhether we're on the local news tonight  Roll Eyes Surely Saturday is too long ago? On the other hand there hasn't been a proper local news since Friday....

You never know - Graceland may not have escaped ALL the cameras (there were lots there)   Grin Grin
