At Hasland, we have been building a great relationship with the local library and on one of the visits Susan, the librarian, explained that we are able to use the computers and gave us examples of how other people used them. One of these was to search for your family tree! This REALLY sparked Jane’s interest. Could we find a bit more about Jane’s Grandad.
Jane talked about this a lot more when we got back to Hasland and the information that Susan had given us about searching for family trees. Jane was really keen to bring in some photos of her family, and so the journey began…….
The photos were beautiful and Jane was delighted to tell all who would listen about them, where they were taken, who was in the photo, what memories they sparked. I loved spending time with her, listening to her enthusiastic stories.
When Jane came to Hasland the next week, she had barely walked through the door when her excitement took hold! This was definitely Grandad!
Our plan is to visit the library, where we can spend some time undisturbed, looking for what else we can find out about Jane’s family: who knows what our adventure will uncover. Jane has decided she would like to put together a presentation and deliver this to other people who attend Hasland. We will let you know how it goes.
