Ancestors and living relatives


No sooner have I tracked down one ancestor than I'm searching for details about another one. Yesterday I had great success with an old uncle we knew as Jim Armitage, only to find out from two cousins his name was Cyril Newton Armitage. And just a few minutes ago I made contact with his granddaughter!!!! That is amazing.

I plan to sit at the keyboard all day, interrupted only by a swim and a shower. As well as getting ancestry into some kind of order, I have other things to do. My Inbox stands at an embarrassing 3,426, so there's lots of replying and filing to do there. And yesterday I started to help Emma with her maths homework and came across a very interesting website about factors, so I'll look into that. (I no longer have regular maths tutoring, but can always email with questions if and when I need to.) I've printed the vocab from French conversations so will spend some time learning that.

Of course, I'll always find time for a couple (or more) jigsaw puzzles!
