Hi David, I don't, but so often I wish I did. :-( Pat x

I don't David, but I wish I did. I was born in Tel-Aviv, and I'm freezing just now. ;-0) Deanna

David, If you saw where I grew up, you'd realise there's no way ... I've lived in Hampshire, Chelsea, Surrey (3 different locations) and Herts. I don't think I'd want to go and live where my maternal ancestors lived, and I've never seen where my Dad's family hail from. Think I'll just drift on, rootless. CB >|<

I don't, but like some other people I sometimes wish I did. I lived in the same house on the outskirts of Plymouth up until I left to get married. Then lived in London, Middlesex and Herts, and finally moved back to the westcountry. Fortunately, my parents moved up here when they retired and they have no other family, so it's nice to be near each other. I'm also far nearer my brother here than I would have been back in Plymouth so that's a bonus too. Just sometimes get a bit frustrated at having to travel a distance for big shops and concerts etc, and would be nice to bump into old school friends instead of having to use messenger all the time lol!

Hi Karen You'd have been all right - I've given them more to talk round here about than my garden lol. Think I've broken too many of the rules for having an easy life in a village ;)

Hi David, I was brought up in the same street. On one side of the street, then, when me and my brother got bigger, on the other side of the street! Left home, married, moved away, divorced, went back to same city. now getting married to a man that used to live 2 streets away from me! The scary thing is, his dad still lives there and I bet we will inherit the house and live there as well when we are older!!! I can't seem to get away from my childhood, maybe i can convince my fiancee that we should retire in the sun!!!! I have quite a few years yet to persuade him!!!!!

I have been for the past two weeks. Having lived in scotland for 5 and a half years I just moved back home to teh house I grew up in My family were the first people to ever live in the house and it started being built the same month I was born we moved in six months later. In this street everyone moved in within 6 months of each other and at least 75% of the original househoulders are still here (just over 30 years now) it'll be a genealogists wet dream in 100 years the house my mum moved to when she was a year old is also still owned by the family and is a minutes drive from here. altho her mum passed away when she was seven the house was left to her and then my 'nan and grandad' (mums aunt and uncle) bought it off her and their daughter bought it from them

I live about 12 miles from where I was brought up and my Mum still lives there and I go up about 3 times per week,but it has changed so much in the 35 years since I left.The main change from me being a child is Belle Vue Zoo park is gone now,and I have very many memories of my childhood going in there,because I lived about 20 yards from the perimeter wall.

Nope I have been a bit of a gypsy i think. Born in Aberdare, South Wales, went to Cardiff University, then moved to Canada for three years. Back to the UK to Harlow, then back to Aberdare for ten years and have been in New ZEaland for the last 5 years

My son has just moved back to central Manchester after working abroad, he chose an apartment just a few hundred yards from where his grt grt grt grt grandfather had an iron mongers shop almost two hundred years ago, what a small world we live in.
