Evening all:)

Kathleen...hello there, we'll have to find a way of meeting you:)

jude xx

our own names can be very confusing cant they,must think of a new one.x :-D

Kathleen, good to see you on here. I hope that you are well.

David, brave man to venture among the ladies, well done to you.

Sue I have always kept my own name but added i Glos to differentiate. Then for a while there was another Anne in Glos but we managed not to get confused.

Hello Suzanne, It has been really interesting for me also as a new member. I have a husband, two children and two grandchildren :-)

oh ive even managed to kill my own thread,thats a first.x :-D

lovely to meet you kathleen.
thank you for taking the time to post. :-D

Hi Sue. my name is Kathleen and I have been a member for about the same length of time as Jude and Ann. My age - well suffice to say I am the oldest so far. I was married for 32 years and have been a widow for almost 30 years, have 5 sons and 2 daughters. Only 2 grandsons and 3 granddaughters - none of my children followed my example.
I was born in London but have lived just south of Heathrow since 1960.
I met my husband in Germany when we were both in the RAF, we married in Berlin.
I have met quite a few GC members though many have left - and I haven't yet managed to meet Ann or Jude.

can i justadd that ive had a few pm"s from members,and what lovely people they are,this thread has been a huge success for me,know genes members much better now.thank you everyone for posting. :-D

hi david,

well david,we have something in common,some of my ancesters were from newcastle and the surrounding areas,one of them was hung in durham goal for murder in 1905, his name was joseph noble,and he was my dads great uncle.also we have both been married for 31yrs,i married my hubby in 1980 age 16.
thank you for posting. :-D :-D

Retired
Owner driver.
Quite new to using a computer.

Enjoy geneaology,found 4 generations on my tree.

You will get me and Jude chattering anywhere! You should see us when we go shopping occasionally together. Its not a quiet occupation, we talk to evryone!

i remember that ann....she really was not nice and caused a lot of trouble...a few yrs back if im not mistaken...there is a thread running on one of the other boards about board names..its confusing when you keep your own name(there are several suzanne"s on here) you can be mixed up with someother not so nice person with the same name. :-)

Daisey That may be a case of mistaken identity. Some time back there was a Daisy on here who was not very pleasant with her posts, always putting people down. It is easy to get Daisy and Daisey muddled up. But it is nothing to do with age we have had young people on here before and have enjoyed their posts. :-)

yes jean ,lets turn this thread into the chatty thread,its lovely to chat to people that you know on here,i can do the same now,because of the thread i now know who im talking to.x :-D

l'm quite good at it too...lol:)


My mum used to breed English Bull Terriers, l just love them and if l see one want to stroke it, always ask first though:)
We had chickens and goats in the garden, but the goats kept eating the washing....mum ended up in hospital because she was trying to rescue the washing...did her knee in...ouch!
We had fields alround us and one or two had horses...one of which bit my sister on the elbow....she was always being told to be careful, she always thought she knew better!!
Another sister poured sand into the farmers tractor....not a good idea...lol
All this was in Tangmere, loved it there:)

jude ;-)

jean its me that kills threads,always even my own.x :-D

I seem to be killing the threads I post on. This is one of them.

Julia, I always wanted dexter cattle, but had to be content with a Guernsey, who was lovely, but I liked the look of the small ones. A nice gossipy thread, this one.

Sorry, i'm a bit late in joining this thread but i think its nice to know a bit more about others and people can say as much or as little as they want!!

I'm Julia and i live in Cambridgeshire, i am 33 and have been married for 5 years. I work for a County Council in the Disability service.
My hubby and I are currently building a house so i am currently living with my mum who has a small holding we have lots of animals including 8 Dexter cattle and my 2 horses.

I got into resaerching when we first found out my mum was adopted and have been doing several lines of my tree including trying to trace her birth relatives.
