I really enjoy 20th century research and seeing where I can trace forwards and track down living rellies.
Often I won't write away to them, I just like to do the research for my own fun and I don't put it on the internet anywhere. (apart from on here ;))
I have spent a really long time researching a tree of my extended family in a village in Leicestershire, and when I was there last I found a grave of a lady who died in 2001. She had not had any children and never married.
I do not know what happened to her brother who was a few years younger than her and he may very well still be alive. He would be my 4th cousin 3 times removed so not very close.
I would like to get the will of this lady, and I know I can buy it, but it is the first time I have felt like I am snooping because it is so recent.
What do others feel about this?
