Loved the Oldest Photos, Janet. Thought they don't seem to know about the photo of my 3xg-grandfather printed in a book - he looks to be around 30 years of age and was born in 1748!

I told the author of the book, but he said the photo must be my 3xg as the negative had his name written on it! Of course he had a son, two grandsons and further descendants with the same name....

Makes you wonder about the rest of the book. Good for a laugh anyway, I guess!

Not too much I hope, as about a third of it is entirely about my family! Luckily, the author mainly quoted from my 3xg-gf's memoirs, so any errors or omissions should be his (and there are some glaring ones - writing about his family - cleverly hiding the two relationships he had at the same time and the child he had by his wife's niece without lying, yet making everything sound respectable and above board!).

Ooh, sorry. Yes, I hope so! Your 3xg-gf's way with words reminds me of my mother.
