An update


The project has been on the back burner for a few months while I collect more information and order my thoughts. I can trace my family all the way from 1863 to the present day but I have a few gaps in the narrative. It doesn't help that almost all my aunts and uncles are deceased. I'm in contact with various cousins and I'm trying to patch together the story from the mid 1930s.
My family is typical of many. In a way there's nothing special about them. However there are the usual family arguments and divisions and I'm trying to piece a story out of the fragments that survive.

I've written about 20,000 words that take the story up to the end of the First World War. As I understand more about my family I will add to it.
