Thank you to Talking Scot

Post by Brenda » Fri Apr 13, 2007 7:29 am

I'm a novice at genealogy, don't know what to do or where to start. However , since joing Talking Scot and reading many of the posts I got enough confidence to contact Alastair Tough in the hope that he could point me in the right direction to find out any information on my paternal grandmother.Margaret McKeon [nee Bannon ] who was a voluntary patient of Woddilee Hospital

He emailed me within a couple of days with the details of her death and I have just received an air mail letter with a copy of her records which included a a photograph ......The one and only photograph any of my family have of her. :D
It was so sad to read of her condition, I only have vague memories of a tiny wee woman with a white cap propped up in bed when I visited her at the hospital with my father when I was a child. [The records state she was only 4 foot 9 ]

So a big thank you to everyone who helped me take this first step.
