My Interview for Geneabloggers



A while back I was honoured to be invited by Wendy Mathias to interview for Geneabloggers "May I Introduce to You.." series.

 The questions sure made me think, remember how I came to take this path and why I am researching and writing the blog. I love doing what I do!

 The interview was posted today if you'd like to check it out...




Thank you for your kind words Wendy, and thank you readers for following me down my path!

    I read and enjoyed your interview. This is my first visit to your blog and I look forward to reading some of your posts. Maybe I'll find tips to help with my Canadian ancestors?

    Hi Dianne,

    Very nice article. Just out of curiosity, you mention a famous Scottish goldsmith. On my father's side I'm related to Peter George Wilson, an Inverness goldsmith who has granted a royal warrant by Queen Victoria in 1867.

      Thanks Jennifer. I just looked Wilson up - some very nice pieces!
      My goldsmith ancestor is James Tait of Edinburgh.
