Who got you interested in family history?
Do you have Power of Attorney?

Q1) my dead father (and his now dec'd sisters)
Q2) No, though the paperwork has been in a solicitors office waiting to be set up for the last 30 years or so. I haven't actually needed it yet.
My mum was only ever interested in the FH if I could show she was related to anyone famous/rich/royal etc, so mostly it was sad news that we are not from the shopkeeper Sainsburys, or the shoemaker Clarks or the sweet maker Maynards and only distantly married in to the chocolate making Cadburys. We are also not related to Bombardier Billy Wells
She was annoyed when I found my paternal aunts went to school with Archibald Leach (Cary Grant) as if they had no right to do that, given they were working class people!!!!!!!!!
