Hey, you forgot me in the Netherlands. It's Mothers Day here too. My eldest daughter cannot come as she and her partner are going to a football party - men! She has sent me a card and a beautiful bunch of flowers. My youngest daughter has migraine and will come next week instead. My ex son in law has also bought a large bunch of flowers. My house is like a florists as I bought myself 3 bunches on Friday at the market! My son doesn't believe in Mothers Day, so what am I doing - yes on the computer!

Hi Carol Spoke to my sister in Oz she was ecstatic as she has just had a new grand daughter! Brought her up to date with the research and she sends her thanks for the help you have given. Spoke to the cousin again this week and we have exchanged documents and hope to meet in the near future apparently the one that lives near you will be coming to England soon. Enjoy the rest of your day! Love Linda x

Sylvia: So sorry to be "politically incorrect". My calendar didn,t mention the Netherlands. Happy Mothers Day. Linda: I,m really pleased I was able to help. Do you think your cousin in Pittsford has a large suitcase...say about 5' 5" long! Lol. ( Sorry, don,t know the metric conversion).

Thanks Carol, It does seem strange though when you don't have a mother anymore. Mine died in 1982 and my husband's just last year. Went to the mall the day before mother's day - it was packed! It did feel strange not buying a present for anyone! I got chocolates and lotto tickets from my son and book vouchers from my daughter and grandaughters plus lots of love :-)))

Hi Carol, You forgot South Africa! Every Sunday Morning my sister in South Africa and I have our weekly chat on messenger. This morning I received a happy surprise as when I logged there was a message that read: "Hello love this is Ma speaking! Can you hear me?" Lol .. I had tears in my eyes as I never dreamt that Mum would ever use the computer. I had planned on giving her a ring later in the morning. Last Sunday was Mothers Day in Portugal. Lindy;-))
