:( :( :( so, I called... me: "HI, I am looking for Nathaniel MacDonald" he: "This is he" me: "My name is Lauren MacDonald, I found your information at the Beaton Institue in Cape breton when I was there last year doing family research. It seems that your grandfather and my great grandfather, were brothers." he: "Oh, really? I don't remember doing that, how long ago was that?" me: "1985" he: "see, my memory doesn't go back that far" me: "I had written you a letter last year and thought maybe I should try you again" he: "I don't remember a letter" me: "well, I'm glad I tried again" he: " ya" me: " I wondered if maybe we could get together sometime to talk about family and I could show you what I have" he: "well, I'm not really able to do that right now, but thanks anyway, - ok, bye" DARN! Maybe I was too pushy? Maybe I should call back and leave him my number? and/or send him some information on my /our family? aaargh!

I called him back - no, he would not like to take my number, but he wouldn't mind if I send him the information that I have - Oh well, we'll see :( --- On Wed, 10/22/08, lauren macdonald <swayball20@yahoo.com> wrote: From: lauren macdonald <swayball20@yahoo.com> Subject: [NS-CB] what would you do - update To: "cape breton mailing list" <ns-cape-breton@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 10:14 AM :( :( :( so, I called... me: "HI, I am looking for Nathaniel MacDonald" he: "This is he" me: "My name is Lauren MacDonald, I found your information at the Beaton Institue in Cape breton when I was there last year doing family research.
