Hi Sal, funny coincidences, I wonder who finds the time to research them , though
I brielfly talked to your daughter yesterday, she asked me if she knew me

Hi bel
This was in a family research magazine,so maybe the coincidences just caught someones eye.
Do you mean sarah...i didn't now she'd been in here..have to go and on her page!!Lovely to hear from you,as always.

I don't know who I talked to, she had logged into your account

Indeed ~spooky~ stuff alright...history tends to bring up those eerie parallels once-in-awhile(to keep us on our toes or give us the heebie-jeebies or whatever).

Hi Smurfles,

I do not know but it is extraordinary.

Hope you are well,

AR1

That's probably the most interesting thing I've read all week. It must have taken someone a long time to research and compile that.

I wonder what it's like to be that dedicated?

Hi liz.i found it intriguing too.It was in one of my family tree research books,and most of the people that research are really dedicated.I have put a lot of hours in to finding ancestors,but still looking for the elusive "Tabitha"
I have found some more family members though,one who died as recently as 1985......but i'm stuck again!!!!!
Glad you found it as interesting as i did!

Hello there AR!.Lovely to hear from you....I'm ,although a bit too hot.I hope the weather isn't too overpowering for you.
I have intended to post to yur space....we have found a christiana in the family

Hi Smurfles, so many coincidences its quite spooky, I must send this by email to Moonglum, he will be fascinated.

How are you, hows the heat where you are? I was catching up on sleep and was woken up by someones new wooden wind chimes.

Hi kaz(waving enthusiastically)!!!
Hope you'll let me know what moonglum thinks of the e-mail!!!
I have slept badly too for two nights now,it is soooo hot!!
I have windchimes at the front, and the back, of the house......i hope they don't disturb anyone!!
Hope lifes treating you well

These windchimes are new and someone is playing with them I think. I am not sleeping badly, just not getting enough, which is why I was catching up this morning. Last night it was 26 degrees in our flat, I am strange, I got a chill. I do that a lot in the heat, I just don't cope well, its annoying!

Hi Smurfles, Moonglum thought it was very weird indeed!
