Hi Sarah,

Great to read about one of your ancestors like that - even if not for the right reasons!!  ;D

And what a great website - interesting even tho I have no Welsh blood in me (I think - at the moment - surely not  :o!)

Cheers

Keith

Hi Sarah,

Have you seen this old thread from last August?  It started off as a bit of Friday afternoon fun but a few Rootschatters actually found new links for their family trees!

What do you get when you Google yourself?

I'm depressed now - and it's your fault, Al!

I thought I'd have a go at the 'google yourself' trick.

The first entry read : ' Jillian Russell is a beautiful young singer/dancer set to take the world by storm'.

I'm not!   :'(
