Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came along today. What a fab time we had! So good to meet some new people and also catch up on old friends. Zoe, Shelli and I went across the road to the Tower Hamlets archive afterwards and found some good stuff! I'm already looking forward to the next meet in Victoria! Maz. XX |

Hi Maz You must have thought 'who's the nutter?' My daughter said that I shouldn't have just gone up and hugged you like that! She said she was so embarrased that her Mum had gone up to a stranger like that. When you went to West Ham Cemetery ages ago and found that my 5Xg-granddad was buried there, I said if I ever saw you, I would give you a hug. Which is what I did! I met my 'cousin', it was as if we had known each other all our lives. We worked out it was our 9Xg-granddads who were brothers. We went to the East London Cemetery after, and found and photographed two graves that I hadn't seen before. Bought a couple of books on Plaistow and Canning Town for Mum's 70th birthday in March. I thoroughly enjoyed today. Sandra (from Aldershot) |

It was really nice to put faces to names. Sorry I couldn’t actually join you for a chat, but thanks to everyone who came to say hello. We were made very welcome, despite coming from sarf of the river! I couldn’t believe how fast the day went. If it’s held next year, I must remember to wear thermals and thick socks, though! B |
