My cousin has come up trumps with the family photos.
My father had a sister who had the family photograph albums when my grandparents died. I don't think my father was interested. One of my cousins has had them up in his loft, and another cousin went up there with him and retrieved them.
My grandmother was Scottish and I never met any of her family and only have a couple of snapshots of her and my grandmother when she was young.
Now I have a photograph of 4 generations of my family - my father as a baby with his mother, her mother, and her mother, the latter being born in 1847. It is the first photo I have ever seen of her.
I also have quite a few photos of my grandmother's three sisters and their families. I had never seen any before.
I'm over the moon!
