It is so interesting tracing family history and unbelievably hard work!! My Great Grandfather who I remember even though he died in the seventies and his brother were in the Australian Army in the first war. His brother sadly died of his wounds in 1919 but my Great Grandfather lived a long life and my brother still has his service book and dog tag. Lovely post and so interesting to hear others stories...<br />Jo xxHesta Nestahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260523918707092137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-34370379110449842302010-11-15T11:00:57.212+00:002010-11-15T11:00:57.212+00:00How wonderful to have all those family photos.

However, a surprise email from someone I didn't know, who turns out to be my 2nd/3rd/4th cousin (we can't quite work it out!) brought me a photo of my great grandfather, and some fill in on family history, which brought up some surprises, as it often does.<br />Love your finds....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-68259716236317743892010-11-12T22:07:36.848+00:002010-11-12T22:07:36.848+00:00Its wonderful Lala, to be able to see your ancesto...Its wonderful Lala, to be able to see your ancestors like that, the brothers look so alike amazing stuff.<br /><br />I also like the string holder, you could put smelly stuff in it and when you pull the string you will get a lovely sniffy whatsit.
