War Time Love Letters .....

On a forum I frequent, someone gave us the heads up about one of these Threads which become 'runaway' to the point of minor, inter net legends. I'm so fascinated with the eventual out come of this one myself, I thought I'd show ye. It starts Here.

So ye'll land there, on ye feet and running; A lady happened to find a classic, ribbon tied stack of hand written letters, buried away in some junk shop.

Acting on what ever compulsion, she bought them and took them home. Then, as she started to nose through them, she became so moved by their style and content that she figured these could be treasured by the authors living descendants.

But, how does one trace the living kin of the, presumably, long enough dead? Well. probably like most other insurmountables, these days; One asks on a forum.

The rest, as I've said, is looking like 'history' in the making!

Over 700 posts on there, as I type this. Please do start at the beginning. Ok; Ye can scan over some of the obviously just 'well wishing' ones. But, the gripping bit is how it evolves. How much people can find out about someone, these days, based on the skimpiest scrap of information.

I do this, of course, as a virtual way of life. I'm the family Genealogist. It's 'my job'. But, ye don't have to be interested in 'Family Trees' to be drawn into this, evolving, little adventure.

Take a look.
