Thought some of you might be amused by this. I don't watch a huge amount of TV, but as I was waiting for a 'phone call yesterday afternoon, I saw an episode of "House Auction" on Channel 4. (At least - I think that's what it was called.) My interest was sparked off by mention of a house here in Bath which had been rescued from near deriliction, and restored as a rather splendid B&B. Shortly before the programme's interval, it showed a picture of the house in question, which was to be featured in the second half. To my surprise, it was not only a matter of yards from my church, but I recognised it as having been the home of part of my family back in the early 1800s! Thank goodness for commercial breaks - I was able to ring my 6th cousin in London - a direct descendant of the Lansdown family who once owned it - and she was able to record the programme, and for the first time see inside her ancestral home! Not that I'd advocate watching too much television, but I thought it extraordinary that a genealogy link should appear from such an unexpected source! Regards, Colin Hunt
