I've got a list ready for my next opportunity to go to the UK.<br /><br />Facebook is good for finding contacts too. I was doing my stepfather's tree, Butts, & was part of their FB group. Then while looking for someone in my family I found a death notice on Trove where someone in my family died & their daughter had married a Butts because she was listed as Mrs Butts, in the same area that my stepfather's family had come from. So I got the the Butts family FB page & asked if anyone knew this couple who had died, & one fellow did. As it turns out, he worked for the local council, so he could tell me their burial plot numbers, & took photos of their grave for me when he was next in that area. It was 500+ kms from my place, so I was very grateful. Gotta love social networking :)Janelle Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012439360388860496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206200616419617723.post-68838541365650333312015-06-07T08:06:33.880+01:002015-06-07T08:06:33.880+01:00Thanks Janelle

Made me feel a bit better as I have emailed a random society to see if they can pass on a message to someone (I believe they are a member of the society as they are mentioned in a photo at the societies Christmas party in 2005) who happened to be in a newspaper photo with my possible 4th cousin twice removed in the hope that they can pass a message on to her. Just hard to explain in email without sounding like a stalker!<br /><br />Oh and yes I happen to have visited the Mermaid Pub when I was attending a conference with work. I thought I had taken pictures inside the pub so I will have to try and find them.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />JoynealogyMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229467792178221871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206200616419617723.post-53702938331683316102015-06-07T01:46:29.536+01:002015-06-07T01:46:29.536+01:00Thanks Joynealogy, it seemed to work fine :)
