So we can go forward as well?

Oh well 2012, 2022, 2032, 2052 and 2062 are going to be quite full of researchers aren't they? We'll just have to get a faster machine to get there that bit quicker

I'd go back to 1902 and gate-crash my great-grandparent's wedding.  There's a brickwall there I'd just love to demolish, and seeing my great-grandfather's family there and interogating them would certainly help end that one. :P

Pipkim, random question, but do you know if you are at all related to the authors Chrisian, Julie, or Michael Morganstern?

erin

Hi Erin, I haven't a clue about George Morjeanstern and how he arrived here. He could be from Mars and probably was. So just to know anyone he was related to would be a start (all the better if they were in the public domain as authors).
I often wonder when he registered his daughter at birth, he said Morganstern with a French accent and it came out as Morjeanstern. Although It does look like he could write his own name and sign himself G Morjeanstern, unlike his daughter at her marriage, who signed with a X.

On another note, it's amazing how much infomation and anecdotes I can squeeze out of my mother, I just have to go back lots of times and hint at people and places and out comes a load of other things.
I image if we all went back in time even the most reluctant of people would like to reminisce and talk about themselves, letting out more info than they bargined for.  :o

i think i would have to go back to the early 1920s and ask my ggrandpa what name he used when he immigrated, i know for a fact that he didnt use the one that i know.....  :(   

i think our rellies all have a good time laughing at us because they could easily tell us what we want to know if they had the chance yet here we are, lol   :P

no, no, I have every faith in them - they just left us little clues - only they were like those cryptic crosswords at the weekends or holidays ???
