A Big Thank You to the Forum and to Google

[AlParsons]

I'm from Canada and, for obvious reasons, cannot join in any discussions about local issues on the forum. A few weeks ago, however, I posted a message about Landcroft Road in 1891 and 1901 and mentioned my grandfather by name (he grew up on Landcroft).

This week, a distant cousin of mine - wholly unknown to me - googled my grandfather's name and saw immediately my message on this forum. Through the forum, she was able to send me a private message and we have been able to re-estabish contact between the UK and Canadian sides of the family. Hurray.

I know that family reunions are not among the express purposes of the forum... but I just wanted to send you a big thank you anyhow.

Let us now return to our reguler programming.

Nice story, AlParsons.

Let us know if you meet up together.
