Travelled down to Florida on the
weekend, delivering my Mother in Law to Florida, and will stay for a while. couple
of weeks at best. Must get back, and do
my train trip across Canada, while the price is low, and my travel insurance is
in effect.
The internet connection is very
poor, and I have spent a majority of my time cleaning up files and organizing
pictures.
We have only one response from
New Zealand, on the search for relatives of Agnes Paige. The lady responding,
was named Biggs, but was not related, at least not closely. Her Biggs came on one of the first three
ships to arrive in New Zealand. Ours
came in the late 1940’s. I assume that the other Biggs I wrote to, are not related.
From the response, I would assume
the person is dead, or, he doesn’t live in the Auckland area. So in spite of a bad internet connection, I
searched the whole telephone book of New Zealand for a GL Biggs, there is one.
This time instead of sending a letter, I will phone. Just need to find a good
internet connection late at night.
D.N.A. is the latest thing in
Genealogy, and I have had a Y Chromosome test, but have not been successful in
finding relatives. But I do not give up easily, and have purchased a new test,
for my wife and I, which may discover relatives, as far as fifth cousin.
Just in case you were interested
