I was over the moon recently as I had made contact with the grandson of my great grand aunt, or in other words my dads 2nd cousin (I think)
But as it was a SMITH connection I was hoping maybe I would get to see some pictures or gather some info. He is 81 and lives with in access to me. So yesterday I finally got around to phoning him to arrange to meet up and show him my Smith certificates and other details etc but its a no no!!!!
He said he is not really interested in the Smith side....argh!!
He doesnt have any info for me or pictures either.
He did tell me the story of my great grand aunt though. He had said previously that she had spent a lot of time in an institution and that he remembered visiting her once when he was about 5 years old.
Anyway the story in the family is that a soldier was having some sort of arguement and when he came home on leave he went to the wrong house which was my great grand aunts and stormed in and had a go at her. This is what sent her over the edge and she never recovered from it.
Oh well back to the drawing board!!!
