I’m keen on my family history research. I joined a few Facebook groups, and someone asked a question on there.. turns out we’re related. We have been in touch about 4 years. We share a great great grandparents. My elderly dad also met her dad when he was young.
We are visiting the area where the distant relative lives, and she has lots of old letters and photos she’d like me to see. So she has asked me and my father over for a cup of tea.
My sister has stated that she thinks it’s really weird I’m going to this woman’s house. She thinks it’s weird I talk to her. And thinks it’s too tenuous a link to bother. Now I feel a bit silly.
