Hi Babs & Listers! I know how you feel Babs. My interest in family history post dates my last trip to England. I cannot believe that I spent an entire morning pottering around Woodstock in Oxfordshire looking for gloves and post cards in complete ignorance of the fact that an entire branch of the tree sprouted there for generations! I'm planning my next trip to coincide with the Rugby World Cup so that I can take advantage of that great husband minding service and potter peacefully along ancestors' trails!
