Jane Lewis (Wirral)/Email - (19/03/08)

! We are obviously twins separated at birth. Metaphorically speaking of course! It was so amazing to read that someone else knows exactly what I have been going through, the highs and lows, exhilaration and frustrations. I go to sleep with my mind buzzing family history and wake up the same. My 16 yr old son tells me I am a geneology nerd and wants to be removed from my tree! I was worried about talking too much about it at work for fear of boring the pants off people! I too have a particular sticking point which is proving difficult, but your book has made me even more determined.

It must be strange for you to get letters from strangers, as strange as it is for me to write it, but I have found the geneology community very friendly.

I will be buying your other book tomorrow, can't wait!

Regards

p.s. bizarrely I came across the expression for a bribe in my French class today: pot-de-vin
