Relativity

Very grey for most of the day but it was warm and humid with it. It did make football a little sweaty but at least it wasn't raining.

The football was very busy with 8-a-side for the first hour. The Gorse Fox was playing for the green bibs and we lost the first game 2-1, but then won the next couple to end up second in the round robin. In the second hour we were down to 5-a-side and just two teams. We set up to play three games... and the Gorse Fox's team won all three games with the Gorse Fox scoring in the middle 5-0 win.

Back home the Gorse Fox returned to the family tree. Over night he had received emails from two further cousins with whom he has made contact through our DNA testing. One lives in Texas the other in Northampton. Both actually share a 2nd Gt-grandmother with each other and the Gorse Fox shares their 3rd gt-grandparents. The lady from Texas was born when her mother married an American G.I.

Looking at their family trees, the Gorse Fox has learnt some new techniques. Much of what he records is basic information with a link to the actual source document. The US cousin actually summarises all the information from the source document. This must be very time consuming, but certainly makes the records more readable. The Gorse Fox will adopt this approach in the future and whenever he opens up an old record.
