Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

Thanks to DNA I broke a wall that I've had for over a decade. My 2nd Great Grandfather is no longer missing.

Hoping to do the same to track down another 2nd Great Grandfather.

I agree with BumbleB that the attitude people had to an out of wedlock pregnancy seems to be quite regional. The attitude to the sanctity of marriage seems to be quite variable too.

I've read a couple of memoirs by former domestic servants, going back to the late Victorian era. One woman went to visit her mother, only to find that her father had abandoned the family and shacked up with another women. Her mother remarked that this was a fairly common occurrence and didn't seem to be that big of a deal. She also didn't seem particularly shocked or worried by servants getting pregnant.

Another woman, who I believe was from Wales, commented that her family would have disowned her if she shacked up with a man or got pregnant, so she was terrified of it.

In my own family tree, there are several women who got pregnant out of wedlock and never married the father. The whole family just seemed to get on with it.

It did occur to me that maybe, for some reason, your account has been marked as a spam account and you are being sent into people's spam folders.

This article explains some of the stuff behind that. I'm afraid it's not something I understand much about.

The other thing I would possibly consider, is getting rid of any email signatures or images that you might be sending with your emails. Sometimes they don't like that.
