Evening lovely people
Just wondering what everyone is up to this summer, If anything, have you booked a holiday, special day out or just a treat for the afternoon, evening. Something that's going give you something to look forward to.. a small boost.
It may give those of us who haven't decided yet ideas of what they can do, wether it be big or small.
I have booked to go a local..ish, small three day music festival in July, I'm also seeing Billy Gibbons { from ZZ Top } in consert, thankfully that is local as well,
I would also love to take my van, Mr T {swb ford transit van with basic camper converstion} up to yorkshire to visit the James Herriot museum. But i am i little worried it will be too much for me with the distance etc. My only saving grace is that if i do get too tired i can climb in the back for a kip and a cup of coffee anytime, with no real deadline to get home.

MSG23 I love the DNA journey on tv as well. I have done the DNA test on ancestory. I am 25% Italian on my mothers side, and have discovered lots of relatives on there I didn’t know about. My next DNA journey is to Lazio in Italy. That needs a lot more planning. Xx
That’s exciting. I love Italy. I met a Mario many moons ago on holiday. He was head waiter so I had second helpings of everything 
My dad’s brother and sister had no children so we thought our family where the last of the Barkers (my great grandfather went to Ireland from Yorkshire and married an Irish girl) it was great to find out we had so many relatives that had emigrated across the world. I met a cousin in NZ. And my sister met a up with a cousin in Chicago. My grandad ended up in Conway. xx
And he was gorgeous! X
Yes, you have to be careful. Thankfully my niece is a historian and knows what is true and what isn’t.
she has done a family tree for me on ancestry with over 4000 relatives!! I just sit back and reap the rewards (I have some skeletons too
) I love the Irish 
️ connections as I feel that’s were my heart is. Happy researching Cat xx
You definitely have to be fully prepared for what you might find when doing dna. It can change the whole outlook of your family tree, a lot of people have secrets in their family that they were not aware of! I hired a genealogist to help unravel my dna ( not to be confused with a gynaecologist which I told my daughter and that really confused her) because a lot of people on ancestry add people without doing the research. It is a long time consuming process, but worth it. Italian family had added photos of my great grandparents that I hadn’t seen before, so that was a good find x
