OMG I can see I will have to take out a bank loan for all my purchases. Did not realise Devon&Cornwall were there too.

Oh I am getting soooooooooooo excited. *jumps up and down*.


Love Tina

What'll be even more weird is if you have any connections with me, lol......

Pinch, Impey... they are the main two of mine that may be connected to branches in your neck of the woods... haven't gone far enough back yet to make a proper connection other than a tingle in my tummy!!

Love

Daff now ya got me even more excited if there are Devon/Cornwall there

*thinks omg how am I gonna bring all me Walkey info with me

lolol

~~~~~ waves to everyone

I am also a newby Fair goer... from what I can gather, it will give you an opportunity to purchase stuff like charts and acid free paper, plus discuss with stall holders the areas/names you are researching, so a list of the names would be good.. also, there will be people from the Devon and Cornwall FHS there.... they will have general info of where you can go to do various bits of research, too. I am a member of both, but haven't figured out how to use all the info yet (I know, I am a proper numpty)

I think some of the stalls will have stuff like photos... or info on where to go to get hold or ask about them.

I think it is a fairly small area, indoors in a large hall... there is a cafe on site where drinks and lunches are served from 12 until 2 and then on somewhere later, where depends on how many of us there are, lol

Maddie, sounds like you are more Welsh than me, lol..... 5 of my Gt grandparents were from Devon or Cornwall, one was from half Welsh/English, and two who were very Welsh... both were Welsh speakers!!

A right mongrel, me, lol!

Hi Jax
Part of my Welsh family originally came from Cornwall/Devon too and moved to where the work was I believe.

I will have to have a serious read of my tree to see what I need to research or look out for. Must try and get some addresses jotted down to see if there are any photographs of the area too.

Am looking forward to meeting you and the others. :))

Love

Tina my nans maternal side is Welsh I have them back to 1764 in the same area I am now but the records I need to get me back further were destroyed :o(

So im mainly working on my dads side at the mo, who were from Devon/Cornwall

I would have to bring a portfolio with my Welsh folk. I did not realise how Welsh I was til I started this Tree lark !!!! lol I only thought my one grandmother was Welsh - ohh noooooooo grandfather was as well and all of their rellies and they had huge families - they soooo obviously had no TV in them days! PMSL.

Maddie Im up for having a nose round see what they got, think I will bring a note book with my Welsh lot in it just incase.

*note to self to charge up Boo's DS

I sure that both can be done Maddie. It would be a pity not to take advantage of the opportunities that are there.

Do you have a name for the smallholding in WoT?

I only ask cos it may be in one of the Bristol Past books and I have a few of them especially local ones as I live half a mile up the road from WoT.

My Ancestry is also up for renewal next month - I notice their logo is on the site and wonder if I can rejoin there at a discount??

But if the gen opinion is just have coffee and a natter - Im good for that too.

Tina same here I didnt know if we needed to bring anything cos I aint been to one either lol

I was just looking forward to meeting everyone.

Daff are we just all making our own ways round the fair and then meeting up or what sorry dunno if I missed it lol

I do but the site says it will also have Bristol links there. Im after the small holding in westbury on trym.

Good Morning Maddie & Daff

I was wondering if I should be taking anything too. LOL or just come along for the socialising. Having never been to anything like this really have no idea what it is like.

You have Welsh connections too then Maddie.

Morning Nudge, now then shall I take some of my tree with me? Im hoping to get a pic of my great grandparents small holding if there is stall with photos for sale.

Nudge nudge!!

Jean it would be lovely to meet you... if you can't manage the meet, perhaps you would like to meet me for coffee somewhere.... maybe a Tesco's, Asda or similar? I only live in Newport.

Take care, anyway.

Love

Daff xxx

I would love to come and meet you alll, which would be the only reason to come as my family history is all Kent and Surrey. I have so much going on healthwise just now that I do not think it will be possible. will look forward to hearing about it on here and wish you all a great time. Jean

Nudgedy nudge!!

Love
