I was about to go to bed two hours ago when I came across your  blog Matt   and recognised you as the young man on the Glasgow meet a month ago !  You certainly have a talent for storytelling  and a natural ability to use a format that seems to be second nature .... the ability to hold a reader's attention with a combination of chronologically correct facts and descriptive prose that are uncommon in one so young. It is a discipline not easily mastered and your technique  is that of a really experienced  storyteller .I hope  you find other stories to write about in the future from your interest in FamilyHistory;  but even if you don't ( and I hope you do !)   I'm sure that your great grandchildren will be reading your account of their ancestors one day  with as much  admiration and enjoyment as we have here on Rootschat .... Really, very well  done young man. You are a credit  to all your family...

Thankyou VERY much! You guys out there...without you this blog wouldnt be receiving all these views. It's great!

I find myself not wanting to end this story, but it must end. It's up to me to write the next chapter now, not on paper, but to live it. Only those after me can write my story.

This journey I have been on is one so emotional, I felt compelled to let you all know at least a smidgen of my story. No other branch in my history have I searched so vigourously, and avidly!!! Maybe it's got something to do with my admiration for Mary Ann.

I may have missed out on meeting her by 50* years but I love her to bits.

Cheers again for all your comments...we are coming to the end of the road now...

Hi Matt,
Think of those future generations to come, after you, who may write your story.
Please leave them plenty to work with, as in a journal or diary, of your life story, along with a copy of this one.
You have an amazing talent with words. I wish you well in whatever your future holds, and thank you for the opportunity to read your family history.
