Service

Today was punctuated with two trips to Chichester. The Gorse Fox was having his annual car service on his Fiesta. After three years he has racked up a jaw dropping 9500 miles! In the old days he's have done that in a couple of months or so.

Back home he had some emails to handle. These were regarding the recent DNA tests. They revealed three new cousins. Two were related through the same 3rd Great Grandfather on the Law side of the family. One of his sons married and then emigrated to Australia. His descendant line shows several matches and two of them have had their DNA done and clusters of the markers match cluster of the Gorse Fox's markers. The other link was through a different 3rd Gt-grandfather on the Roe side of the family. They have remained in the UK and my 72 year old cousin lives in Hillingdon. It's really quite exciting to find these distant relatives... but it would be so nice to find some links to the Gorse Fox's own family name.

Car was collected from the garage late afternoon. No problems at all (not that any were expected). It's always a relief, however.
