Welcome to John Rouse who has joined this week. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** Don't forget this month's topic is "My honorary Bute ancestor" - ie that person or those people who keep turning up alongside your own ancestors in various records so that you become interested in their lives too. For example, from time to time we all receive enquiries from possible relatives regarding links to their ancestors - have any of your checks on these developed into a de-facto honorary ancestor ? Please also note that these monthly topics do not 'die' at the end of the month - if you suddenly come upon an ancestor worthy of a dinner invite (March topic) , then let us all in on the secret. ****** ****** ****** If you have South African Genealogical interests the new virtual branch of GGSA may interest you ... eGSSA's website is currently hosted at http://www.ggsa.info/eggsa ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items.
