I LOVE Ancestry!

I was without my Ancestry subscription for 3 weeks, and boy! Did I suffer withdrawals! I am so addicted to my family history research. I've always loved history, and the more I find out about my family members, the more inquisitive I become.

Yesterday, I was able to use my AVON money to order hubby's DNA kit, and then they offered me a 6 month worldwide subscription for $79 ... how could I refuse, LOL. 

So, today I was back doing research, and lo! I hit paydirt.

I started working on my hubby's family, and in searching info about his mum, I found her High school yearbook from 1947!

She is 4th from the left on the top row. I was struck by how much Mark's sister, Pam, looks like her mum.

I also found one of my hubby's cousins, and we started messaging back and forth. They haven't seen each other since they were kids over 40 years ago.

I also found a descendant of my great-grandmother's brother and am awaiting a response, as I am very interested in our shared great-great-grandfather who had a bird shop at 1 Rathbone Street in Canning Town. I am wondering what info they might have to share that I may not already be aware of.

I'm so happy to be able to continue my explorations for at least the next 6 months and expound on all that I already know. I find this journey fascinating!
