A great idea but I'm not even on your continent so shan't be able to join in.  I'd love to but...

Thanks for including me and have a great time,
charlotte

Hi Charlotte,
     
this thread had many who showed an interest but could not attend for various reasons. At least one from Europe.

Thanks to Karen and JDC for organizing this gathering.

It's really nice to put a face to a name and swapping stories about our ancestors.

Hopefully we will be able to do this again.

Cheers,

Well...what a wonderful afternoon we had

It was great to meet everyone face to face and talk about our trees.  Some great stories,

Mavador and genie are from England but have been in Canada since the 60's.  Mavador had great stories about her family and how the children were almost sent to a Barnado's home.  Genie and her family are quite the travellers and did her best cockney accent when telling stories of her dad.

Then of course there was grammatj8 and her grandparents and did they really marry in Ontario or did he go back to the Ukraine and marry???

Kiddo and JDC talked about their plans on searching out Indiapalale's Ephraim Bathurst this week and finding out where he is buried.

Of course, I was just excited to be out with big people (I'm a stay at home mother with 3 girls age 7, 5 and 3) and have great conversation and food!!

Thanks for coming everyone and thanks to JDC for helping secure the location.

Hopefully this will be the first of many!!
