A wonderful surprise!
« on: Monday 29 December 08 17:34 GMT (UK) »
To all of you who helped me find the family of John Wise in South Australia about this time last year. ;D Thank you!  8)

I received a Christmas card this morning from his Great Great Grandaughter (she lives on the Adelaide outskirts) with the news that her son will be sharing information with me in the New Year.  I had contacted many people who might have been her and now I have found her.  I am so pleased - a lovely late Christmas gift.  :D

So to anyone getting fed up with brickwalls and dead ends just stick at it!  You never know what is round the corner.  ;D

I hope Christmas was good for you all and I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year,
Abiam

Abiam it was an interesting journey for all of us who helped you....especially the history of former neighbours of our old farm property on the south coast of South Australia...along with the history of the area.

I echo your thoughts on 'sticking with it' ;)

I hope your New Year brings you lots more information about the Wise descendants in South Australia.

Have a fun filled and happy new year.

Cheers for now
Cando

Well done Abiam. A similar thing happened to me this time last year. We have now met our rellie in the flesh and are in regular contact. Well worth it!
