Linda’s message to Hamilton 2009

Hello there and greetings from the Central Coast

I’m just starting on this family history thing so really appreciated Janet’s help last week. I drove up to the Blue Mountains last Wednesday and spent two nights with Janet. A few glasses of wine at night and lots of good chats about family etc.

I now have loads of certificates and photos which I will hopefully put in some order later this week. I have started on my dad’s family but haven’t got further than great grandparents. I’m also tracing Barry’s ancestors and would love to find a convict but possibly not as I am already back in the UK with one great grandparent

What a fascinating hobby this is turning out to be.

Janet and I went to Uncle Ray’s funeral last Friday, Aunty Blue looked so sweet in a smart navy blue and white suit. Raymond was there, haven’t seen him for a long time.

Wayne gave a lovely eulogy at the funeral and we asked him if he would mind emailing it to us to add to the family story.

Ruth is staying with Yvonne again, not far from where I live, so might be able to catch up with her on Friday.

I have attached one fairly recent photo of Barry and I, as we are now – 60 years young. I can’t believe where all the years have gone.

Will be in touch again soon with more news.

Love Linda
