I wish I could do my own side Resty. Al's family is just about all done and recorded, but I have very few facts to go on with my Dad and Mom. I was the youngest and no one ever wrote anything down, and what I knew I have forgotten. All I have is where my Dad was born and his discharge papers from WW1.
All I know is that my Dad's family came from some Shire in England and my Mom came from Nova Scotia.
My mom is from Saskatchewan!
Guess what Jude - my sister is married to a Derbyshire. My BIL's family are all brits. My brother in law has no accent but his mother had a bit and his grandparents really had accents.
