Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 12 Dec 22

Well, this was a curious finding. One of the things I've noticed in my search of my mother's maiden name is the many different spellings out there. From her grandfather to her, it was spelled Postell. When he was a child, it was...

Decided to start a blog on my family tree. Not sure how far I'll get as it may be difficult tracking my mum's side. She had an interesting upbringing. It was like something out of a historic novel. She was born 'out of...
