Recently watched a BBC movie entitled “Almost Strangers”, it was about genealogy and family. During the movie it was said that every family has at least three great stories. I would think your grandmother Nanny raising your Dad alone after WWII was probably an interesting story. How touching to see her wearing the wing pin and insignia that was part of your grandfather’s uniform. The generation of your grandparents and mine was truly a special group of people.

Enjoyed your blog, it appears you enjoy genealogy research as much as I do. I’m the county coordinator for Talbot County, Ga Gen Web project . I’ve transcribed many records from microfilm and posted them online in hopes of helping others. Once you begin genealogy research it seems you can never stop! It’s addicting! Best of luck with your research.
