About THE LOVE FAMILY
Please sign in to see more. This family tree was started around 1970,and as with most compilers i had little idea about the sheer
number of people that it would eventually involve,and the dedication needed to carry out a never ending task.
My father had 15 sisters,of which i knew very little,other than they were scattered in various parts of the world,mostly canada and america.
my mother, being born out of wedlock,also had a rather large extended family(some of which still have
not been located).
On my paternal side,my greatgrandfather had eleven children,and so the list goes on! So at least i was up for the challenge.
At this stage i must mention a few people that have greatly assisted me in my endeavours,and they are,
Winnie Dodds,Charlotte Donnelly,Shirley Linklater,and our american cousin,Liz Barnett.
And last but not least,my wife Anne,who has a better memory than me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR TOMBSTONE STANDS AMONG THE REST,NEGLECTED AND ALONE
THE NAME AND DATE ARE CHISELLED OUT ON POLISHED MARBLE STONE IT REACHES OUT TO ALL WHO CARE,IT IS TO LATE TO MOURN
YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT I EXIST,YOU DIED AND I WAS BORN
YET EACH OF US ARE CELLS OF YOU,IN FLESH AND BLOOD AND BONE
OUR BLOOD CONTRACTS AND BEATS A PULSE,ENTIRELY NOT OUR OWN
DEAR ANCESTOR THE PLACE YOU FILLED,ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO
SPREADS OUT AMONG THE ONES YOU LEFT,WHO WOULD HAVE LOVED YOU SO I WONDER AS YOU LIVED AND LOVED,I WONDER IF YOU KNEW
THAT SOMEDAY I WOULD FIND THE SPOT, AND COME AND VISIT YOU
