Hi,
I 'm new to this and have been convinced to 'give it a go' on the eve of 'THE BIG ADVENTURE', our trip to UK. The 'our' is yours truly and my wife Ann. We leave tomorrow and will have a two day stopover in Hong Kong to break up the trip. Should arrive in England 6.30am Friday 22nd August. I will try to add some each day to keep everyone informed on what is happening and where. The plan is to have 9 days with a Cousin and his family at Henley on Thames and then move to a small cabin in Suffolk just out of Bury St Edmunds. We have the cabin for 6 weeks. I have chosen the Suffolk area as that is where the Stannards roots are. My ancestors were farm labourers in various areas of Suffolk until my great grandfather George moved to London and joined the London Metropolitan Police. I am very excited about meeting family who have basically been 'names on Christmas cards'.
My maternal grandparents came from Lincolnshire so I hope to meet members of that side of my family and greatly expand my limited knowledge of Brown part of me.
