A few years ago I was contacted @FamilySearch about a common research interest – how was I related, the lady (Sheila) wanted to know? Well, my mum’s Auntie Liza had married a Henry Hunter & that’s where the connection lay #AncestryHour 1/5
Sheila was descended from the Hunters & had recently arranged for a headstone in a Glasgow cemetery as her mother was buried there. Also interred in that plot was a Margaret Paul. What relation was she to me? Sheila wanted to know #AncestryHour 2/5
I explained she was my ggmother, Auntie Liza’s mum. “Hopefully you’ll be pleased” Sheila said, “I included her name on the stone” and she sent me a photo of it #AncestryHour 3/5 Image
I passed out with shock – I had no idea where my ggma was buried - & when I came round, Sheila & I kept in touch & met up @familytreemaguk’s Live Show at Ally Pally. 4/5 #AncestryHour
It’s absolutely wonderful to finally have another keen genealogist on my mother’s side of the family! Thanks, Sheila 5/5
