Hi Rosie,
I know just what you mean on wishing your mother could have known what you have discoverd about family.
I think we all regret not listining to our parents more when they talked about family, for me my late father was very intrested in local history and for him to know how much I have discovers about hes parents families would have made him very happy.
We do feel closer to departed family by finding all this intresting information.
Mick.
