I've been in South Korea for 2 1/2 weeks now. I'm catching up and looking forward to getting back into genealogy!
Hoping for air mail from England
One of the nicest things about volunteering for NEHGS (besides the satisfaction) is the appreciation I receive. Volunteers' names appear in the list of volunteers printed in the annual report; the annual report goes at the end of the "New England Ancestors" magazine once a year. Now, the names are smallish, so I would expect to be overlooked - heck, who even reads the names?
Well, I do, and apparently so do others!
I received a letter (sent to NEHGS and then forwarded to me) from a Hawksley in England. She told me about her ancestry and asked about mine. I wrote back about my husband's Hawksley ancestors immediately.
She works at one of the genealogical societies in England, and that is how she obtained the "New England Ancestors" issue - through an exchange of society journals. She shared a great deal of information in her letter, which I have saved. I shared what I knew in mine.
I am full of anticipation and hope that she will respond. whether she and I can make a genealogical connection, or not!
