My Dad did not share stories so I did not feel the same connection. My research, including interviews with my Dad's aunts, has helped me to feel more connected with my Dad's family. <br />Thanks for sharing your post.Colleen G.

Conversely sometimes the ones that make us work for every fact can become favourites too. I didn't much like one of my ancestors based on his will but have come to admire him over time. I do hope you find more information on your father's family so they feel more real to you. There is a book called "Writing a non-boring family history" by Hazel Edwards, another Aussie. I'm less of a fan than most but most people rave about it.Cassmob (Pauleen)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18397134336319778519noreply@blogger.com
