Thats great news Pat I just had the same luck with my missing Macfarlane/campbell cousins in the west indies Regards Tania

That's great news and has reminded me that my cousin, who I am visiting in early June, told me the other day that she has some books about Buckingham and one of them has a picture of my grandmother in. Maybe she will give it to me - she is not that interested in the family history. Tonight on the phone she mentioned that someone from my family's home village, Gawcott, had come round to see her, and she is 70 so might remember some of the family, but when I said so to my coz she said, Oh I never bother to talk to her about that, I am not really bothered! Think I will have to visit the lady myself. Hope you get your copy soon. Liz

That's fantastic news! How lovely to have something in print. The only thing I'v got in print from my lot is BMD certs and census forms! (And it's nice to see positive threads on this board, instead of insane rows and witterings!) Bx

So pleased for you, its great when something like that comes up isn't it. Is there any chance that the library would sell it to you, sometimes they do. I managed to order a book from the library [sent down from a different library] that my grandfather wrote, it was a shame I couldn't keep it, but when my aunt died I came across the signed copy she had, it's old and tatty but is a real treasure to me. Only wish the book was about his life, but it's about submarine cables but I have got the original transcript of one of his adventures that was printed in the newspaper and the newspaper cutting that was very much edited.

I'm so pleased for you Pat. After your disappointment on Saturday this is really good news. Keep us informed how it goes. Love Viv xxx

How great is that, Pat! What a find, you must be so pleased. Sue x

Sue, Thanks, Im so excited! hubby's just got in from work and it's the first thing I told him! I dont think he was very interested though, He knows he will have to have it read out to him several times before i have calmed down! Pat

Well done Pat, really pleased for you. Sue

Maz, I might trade a copy of it for a photo of him and his wife! Pat x

Hi Pat - just came on and saw this - I'm soooo pleased for you :-))) Looking forward to hearing what it says - maybe seeing a copy of the picture too??!! You thoroughly deserve this bit of good luck - why not contact your 'family' and tell them you've got it - if they ask for a copy say 'of course' then don't send it heh heh heh Maz. XX

Sandra, A Photo I know! It's of the same man who my family got funny about me having photo's of the other week. So it looks like i will get a picture anyway! I bet they will be crawling out of the woodwork for info from me now though! Pat

Thanks everyone, Its 'The Journal of The Gypsy Lore Society'. Well one of them anyway! It's a magazine thats published a couple of times a year, In the 1940's they did a story about my great grandfather because he had such an amazing life. Im writing my book about him, So it should help me clarify some things about him. Pat

PLEASE WHATS HIS NAME

His name was Peter Lazarovic. Pat

GOT TO KNOW WHATS THE TITLE

how chuffed must you be............which i could get that lucky.

Fantastic news, Your efforts paid off. Really pleased you have finally located the book, its a shame you have to wait so long but at least you know its on its way.

Hi Pat I'm really pleased for you, see it all comes right in the end, & a photo as a bonus. Happy Hunting Sandra
