Find Ancestors

Merry Christmas Evelyn, and to everyone who has been soo involved in the search for Diane! I check in every now and then to see if there have been any more developments!

Here's hoping for 2013!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to pop in to say 'thank you' to those of you who have used your skills during this year in the search for the elusive Diane.

We may not have found her yet, but the mystery has brought a group of us together in friendship and willingness in order to help a fellow member.

The search, which now enters it's 4th year, has taken us from Scotland to Dorset - from England to India - from India to Canada. We have researched various families and contacted numerous agencies. There have been advertisements, letters, emails sent out and phone calls made - all in the hope of that one vital clue which will lead us to the journey's end.

One day soon maybe............we live in hope. :-D


Meanwhile, I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Happy Christmas Evelyn

Glad you are felling better .................

Winter will soon pass now Christmas is here .....soon be Spring .......... and Easter Eggs will be on sale in the supermarkets almost before we have packed the Christmas baubles into the loft again

The months and life rolls on ........ and so it should..... as will the search for your mother

Take care Evelyn ..................... (((hugs)))

Somefink I have musing on.

You said she had some sort of private income.

Could it be that she she had her father's pension if she was orphaned at a young age.

I think I saw something like this when looking for someone else.

If so might the army of records of it.

Happy Christmas Evelyn dear. <3

Happy Christmas :-)

Hello everyone,
So far 2013 has been OK, I went out for a meal on New Year's Eve with my brother in law and his wife, we had a lovely time and the food was good as well, it's so nice to have company, living alone is not a lot of fun.
Changing the subject I wonder if this will be the year when one of you dear friends will be able to trace the elusive Diane?
Much love to you all

Wonder what it's like to be as old as FBG??? :-S

You still remain 10 years older than me Baggage :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Completely off topic, but I happened to see a programme the other day called The Map Man.
I wasn´t really paying attention but my ears pricked up when it sank in that the subject of the programme was a William Roy who in the early 1740s set out from Fort George to map the highlands. Some job!!!. Apparently he was very successful.
Could he be one of your ancestors Evelyn?

That sounds interesting Wise,how nice if I was related to him.fancy being related to someone that did something useful.
I hope you are all having a good new year so far.
Love to you all from a dark and dreary Guernsey

So far, so good Evelyn thanks. Hope you are the same.
Had a quick google for info about this person & his map making exploits are well documented, but there is no other info about him. Had hoped to find out what regiment he served with or his age, or something, but no joy.
They did say on the programme that very little was known about him, but they had a copy of his map & were trying to retrace his steps.
Not a programme I would have chosen to watch really, but it was absolutely fascinating.
All the best for 2013.
