i call that a major find congratulations! didn't take the book long in getting there

[sarahmck]

yeah didnt expect it to be here so quick.rang proni TODAY SO HAVE TO WRITE TO A FELLA THERE TO REQUEST COURT PAPERS AND PRISON RECORDS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY HAVE ON MICHAEL SO THEN THEY COPY THEM AT A FEE AND POST THEM TO ME.HOPING THEY MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING ON GREAT GRANDAD PATRICK.THINK HE MUST HAVE VANISHED INTO THIN AIR.

[TF13]

did proni say they have those records or they would do a search? that would be great if you got them!

great grandad patrick will be found when he wants to be found, he's just making you hang around a bit things turn up when you're least expecting them!

the lady i was talking to today said that some of his file might be closed and that she wasn,t sure what information they could let me have until they have a good look at it.cant wait for that info to get to me.just wish i had more on my granda and great granda.

[TF13]

you never know what might be in the file or who gets mentioned. it might lead you on to something else.

this family history carry-on does get exciting sometimes

[sarahmck]
