Hi there everyone!!

ARGHHHHH!!!!!!  I never got any notifications that you were all yakking about this!!!  And by chance just decided to have a look at the board tonight and saw this!!

Jaynnis!!!  Blimey!!  You're my family!!!!  You have no idea just how glad I am that there are still Finey descendants left in the UK.  I hadn't been able to find any of you (from our family) and had thought we over in NZ/Oz were the last (not that I've managed to find them either yet - as in live people).  Please please please come back on or PM me by hitting the little green scroll on the left side of messages under my user name.  I SOOOO want to chat with you 

Bren - thanks so much for the births.  They clear up missing middle names for me and help me to understand why I can't find some cemetery records - they were using their middle names!!   And as for that Te Awamutu reg....I'll work on that.

Mk2 - as always you are fantastic!  I have not gotten around to getting a copy of the probate as yet (cost is scary) but I must ask my family if they know who Alice Thomas was as that rings no bells with me.  Yes John was one of his sons and was actually also a violin maker - something else I have to try and track down info on.

Del - I've always marvelled at how you help people with all of those marriages and I'm honoured to be helped by you this time.  All of the first lot and three of the possibles are mine.  You are just too good 

Jaynnis - please come back soon.  I have to get your e-addy so I can yak heaps!!!

Love you all so much
Bunny

Hi

Dear, dear Linda,

HI CUZZIE!!!!!!!  Of COURSE I still look!!      I'm so nosey I'll look for as long as I'm alive!  It's so awesome that you've decided to have a look for yourself.  I have most of the family but it peters out when you get to people like your mother and auntie.  I have Reay and her husband Richard but no kids (so that means no you on my tree...until now  ), and I have Joy and her husband and her kids but not all the birthdates and certainly nothing further than that for your branch.

If you post one more message then you'll activate a wee green scroll that you will be able to see underneath your user name.  Clicking on the green scroll will mean we will be able to send each other messages privately that only you and I will be able to see.  It allows you to gossip about the twigs on the tree!

I'm in Wellington!

Cheers
Bunny

Hey Linda, I tried looking for you when grandma died, i rang every Slade in the book, I was disappointed.
I cant believe this is you, i was just mucking around on google and put great grandfathers name in and came up with this site wow and for Bunny my grandmother is Hazel Joy but everyone called her Joy, my great grandfather is John Finey.

Please contact me

Sharon

Dear Sharon,
Blimey I've been looking for you too. Where are you? Im in Auckland - email and I will forward my address and ph. but you have make 2 more contacts to me through this site either with just a smiley or hello, then we can talk in the back-room so to speak.
I thought all my family had fallen of the planet then f/b came along and I had brief contact about two years ago with our cousin in Oz.,  but then he dropped off for some reason. He told me about Aunty Joy...man I was so sad. I have been to visit her grave though and she is just down from her mum and my mum is just across the way from them...so they are all in proximity from each other at Purewa
You must join us on f/b. I have started a page called the Finey Family Tree Hut with family members I recently found who's grandparents are the sisters and brothers to my grandpa (your gr. grandpa), John Finey.
There is a lot to catch up on and I have missed you dearly so contact me as soon as you can.   

all my love 
Linda

Hi Linda,

Better remove your email address as RC doesn't allow details of that kind on here, nor the names of living persons.


Sharon needs to make two more posts, just with smileys or a Hello to both, then you can use the PM (Personal Message - the scroll) to exchange your email addys.

No doubt Bunny will be jumping for joy again.

Cheers
