thank you everyone and also another chance phone call got me intouch with the son of my gt grandmas cousin slightly more distant i know but my grandfathers surname was emmingham and he came from gringley on the hill.

my gt gt grandfather david emmingham was one of about 7 children and one of his brothers was jonothan emmingham
well one day i was talking to my grandma about the emmingham's as my grandfather passed away in 1996 so i got the good old phone book and my gran said there was some mmingham's in worksop she rememberd visiting in 1945 when her and my grandad were courting so i rang up the first emmingham from worksop i came to and it was the grandson of Johnathan Emmingham  :o i got really lucky again so we now keep in touch and share family sotries

regards jason

Jason,

Oh my. You are inspiring. All of these connections!! :o I love finding my "dead relatives" but it is even more exciting to find new living ones. It sounds like you have a lot more out there to find.

There are spooky experiences, and spooky experiences. Some you know are imagination or just plain made up.
The messages on this thread have a real feeling. Do you think it is because we are genuinly trying to find our ancestors because we love them and want to know about them. Perhaps this opens the path for those nearest and dearest to us to make contact.

They do say that just saying their names keeps them "alive" so to speak. Maybe they are trying to help so we do just that
