Jeans

I would love to be able to trace my family tree, but what little time I have spent trying has proved fruitless. I do know that my Dad is the only musician in a few generations (he is a drummer...ok musician and Drummer may be a contradiction to some lol) But I have recently started asking questions about the past. I do know that my Dad and his Dad were undertakers! so the family have gone full circle there. I also know that one of my Dad's brothers was one of the first soldiers to liberate Belsen. Again a coincidence that one of my first postings was at Bergen/Belsen and I visited the camp, an experience I will never forget. I share my fathers hairstyle which is of course bald, but then again while at school I was voted the schoolboy most likely to recede? One day, if I get time! I will sit down and start searching my history, as I am sure some of it lies in Ireland!
