Hi Folks I know this is not strictly speaking a proper query for this board but as some of you maybe doing the same thing I thought you might advise me. I am making a board using fridge magnets of my descendants, a kind of tree in the opposite direction to the usual one. My query is should this be just blood relations or should 'step' children/grandchildren etc be included? Fran

My step-grandfather lived before the days of fridge magnets but in the 'Book of the Family' which he compiled and left to us he included all of u, making clear the actual parentage of each entry. --- On Thu, 28/2/13, knight frances <[email protected]> wrote: From: knight frances <[email protected]> Subject: [NMB] Advice To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, 28 February, 2013, 11:07 Hi Folks I know this is not strictly speaking a proper query for this board but as some of you maybe doing the same thing I thought you might advise me.

Frances: As you are doing this for yourself, and as anything made with fridge magnets is hardly likely to survive longer than, say, your own life-time, if that, it is entirely up to you what you include. Put them in if you want to: leave them out if you want to. No-one is going to criticise you whatever you do! I suspect the governing factors will be - "Who is likely to see it?" and "What will they think?". After all, you presumably won't want to fall out with the family over this, will you? One thing's for sure - there are no rules about this!
