HEADLINES OF OLD
MISSING FRIENDS.. TROVE TUESDAY 16th Feb 2021
I’ve always thought that one of the saddest headlines in the old newspapers is “Missing Friends”. Friends covers relatives as well as friends. Many have left their home country, never to be heard of again. Some moved interstate, some just disappeared… how do you deal with that?
Have you had ancestors who wandered off? My husband's great grandfather wandered off.. just where and exactly when, I have still to confirm, but John Goopy senior..even you can't hide forever! I have no intentions of giving up on you...
How times have changed... and though some people still go missing, either intentionally or not, communication and hopefully, tracing, is so much easier.
