2 questions
Do I tell my Nanna every thing I have found about her grandmother even though it is not what she whould want to hear?
I started researching family history to try to prove that my nan's grandmother was part Spanish, which was what nan had always been told and always believed. I think that Sophia my grt grt grandmother made up a lot of romantic stories to cover up that she was orphaned and in the workhouse most of her life. The only spanish link i could find was that her sister worked for a Spanish lady in 1851.
The other thing is what sort of questions do you think I should ask her?
I always think of loads of things to ask and she has a fabulous memory but she gets side tracked with wonderful stories of scandal and gossip of the time which are very interesting but i don't come home with much family stuff
I will be seeing her at Easter, unfortunately only get to visit twice a year
Thank you
