Wow - you know I wonder how often we do put things 'away', with no more than a glance, anly to find later on how valuable it was. I had a similar experience at the library yesterday. Was asking for info and our conversation - me and librarion - turned right at the lights, Suddenly he was recommending a source book about wheich I had really just minimal interest. ANyway, I borrowed it, and would you believe, found the complete family of my G Grandmother. The book, SS Great Britain, contains an overview of the ship and a bit of its history in the first fe pared. The rest is passenger list. And writing this, I have just realized her mother was my GG Grandmother - that makes 3 of my GG Nanas accounted for. Serendipity, they call it, bloody marvellous, I call it.
