In my family it was oral tradition, but it only goes back to those who arrived in NZ. It is accompanied by some photos of which I am the current caretaker, but I have no children so am very conscious that I need make an effort to pass on the stories (if anyone of the younger generations is interested), as they won't come up in casual day to day conversation and over the dinner table chit chat.Tigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7788833046540965388.post-73932121548132805672021-04-20T21:33:47.310+12:002021-04-20T21:33:47.310+12:00I'm exploring a bit of my family history but s...I'm exploring a bit of my family history but sadly I have no younger generation to pass it on to.
