Oh. I know philip's mom was Anita (Nita) because she was "great granny Gee" and I had to go visit her in the old folks' home. Actually I had to visit her before then when she was still in her house. she served tinned salmon and tinned tangerine segments and raspberries in syrup. and had a muddy dingy basement (unusual in UK)

Aloys was my great grandfather on dad's side. He came over from Switzerland, and started a cigar shop in the town where I now live. I can't think of any more of them right now.
eta: I just found his name on the ancestry DOT com site. You have to pay to get more info.

how funny that Florence is the only repetition so far, and it's appeared 4 times!

Except for Radar's grandmother Virginia. That's what my grandma went by...she liked her middle name more than her name Florence. So that one was kind of repeated.

There is a family legend that a famous wild-west gang stopped at her home when she was 7-9yrs old and that she was the only one at the house. She made 'em lunch) Thats all I know

Mary - Mom's stepmom My mom used to joke that they should have named me Mary, because then everyone would think I'd been named after them. |
