Long Lost Rellies

Post by wini » Mon Mar 06, 2006 11:24 am

Through this site I noticed a mention from Jenovo that she was looking for Fairgrieves from Tranent.
After emails back and forth between Jenovo and her cousin in Scotland i realised he was from the family I was distantly related to and spent many summer holidays there as a child.
To cut a long story short, he has been able to supply me with the addresses of some long lost rellies, who I hope will be able to help me with the Gunn's in my family tree.
So a very big THANK YOU to TS and Jenovo

Catriona, They haven't heard the bad news yet.
A couple of them are in Glasgow, so the will be getting a wee list to check out.
Maybe they won't want to know me then

Hi wini

When you write to them, mention the BBC program "Who do you think you are?" They'll be thrilled to think they are getting involved in something similar! :D

Will do

Wish the ABC here would get the series I would love to see it.
