Never much was spoken openly about families in fact it was all much of a mystery even though I had knowledge of and contact with a very few relatives on both sides. Dad said he "would write it all down" but sadly died in 1999 and had not done so. Mum had difficulty in saying exactly what happened.
About three years ago I got records, including photographs from Branados from the 1920's.
Since then an ongoing search, mainly through Genes Re-United, had resulted in an extended family tree of some 400 members and lots of lovely photographs and information I would never have had.
I AM SO GRATEFUL AND THE MEMBERSHIP FEES HAVE BEEN REPAID EMOTIONALLY MANY TIMES OVER !!!!.
