When I put together some of the tales that distant rellies have, who emigrated in the mid-1800's, they were so adventurous and brave. |

One of my father's 2 or 3 xgt uncles emigrated from Buckinghamshire to Australia in the mid-1840s on an Agricultural Scheme. He travelled at around the same time as one of his sisters, both with spouses and children, and following one of their uncles who had done the same on the same sort of scheme about 10 years before. |

Jack Crayston, the footballer who played for Arsenal then became a manager, was Granny's 'cousin'. I don't follow football so never knew, but another 'cousin' told me, and then of course I was able to research him and place him on my tree. |

Two of my great grandmother’s nephews went to president Roosevelt and said Hawaii would side with America in WW2. |

My maternal gran's maiden name is the same as a well-known (in earlier times) hereditary peer who was somewhat notorious as a 'rake', amongst other things! |
