Kent / Re: Mill Hall, Aylesford in the 1820's - what or where was it exactly?

They all used the pub at one time or another. I remember when Richard broke his leg about the age of 18. Several of us went camping together soon after.

I also remember your grandmother. My father used to make food hampers up for the local OAPs at Christmas, one of my jobs near Christmas was to help my father deliver the hampers. From memory, your grandmother was in the house on the end of the terrace nearest to the level crossing. I am unsure how many years ago your grandmoter died, but I think it was about 25 years ago.

Best regards

Wow it is so fantastic to see that you know the people Keith Sherwood is thinking about.
A similar story also happened to me. My grandparents had a lot of fruit trees in their garden and in fall we always made fruit hampers for neighbors of them. When I met my girlfriend we talked about our grandparents and then we suddenly detected that I know her grandparents since  I was a little boy because they are neighbors of my grandparents. I think something like this is just amazing. It's a small world!

Technical Help / Re: Utube audio
« on: Monday 12 September 11 11:35 BST (UK)  »
There are tools out there to download the mp4 format file video, you would then need a basic video editing program which allows you to separate the video track from the audio track, last step would be to encode the split audio into a friendly format such as MP3, if you google the topic I am sure you will find various tutorials for the job.

Hi,

I would like to know about your motivations for researching past generations, root around in your family tree and so on. What are you after? Just wondering  :)

Europe / Re: Hirschberg....Poland or Germany ?

By today's standard the name sounds very German, rather than polish. Probably why it was renamed to that "Jelenia Góra" cited below.

Wouldn't want to be called "Bendigoe"... Interesting names yes, people will definitely remember you with an exotic name like that.
