Thread Name: BS: Letters from 1943! ( Billybob)
Subject: RE: BS: Letters from 1943! ( Billybob)
After a month of typing ,I have all the letters on my laptop! Now I can start on the memory book for my mother. I am scaning in old family photos and thought I would make it like a family tree but with lots of information to remind mum of her grandparents, parents, siblings etc.

This project has sent me off on different quests, my father was a contributer on "The Sydenham Forum" so when I typed in V2 rocket hit Sydenham , up popped my fathers account of his family home Derby House being blasted, complete with photos!!

When My granfather had the house rebuilt after the war, he furnished the house with pieces bought at the Auction of the contents of Sir Ernest Shackleton's house, also in Sydenham, so off I went reading everything about that house and the explorer!

Having great fun, but where will I go next??
