My mum's love was unconditional so my parents were a good match, and I had a great childhood. Mum passed away 12 years ago, aged 67, and I know she would love to be here now. I'm proud of my family, proud of my heritage, and I'm proud of my ancestry. My forebears were good, honest, caring, hard-working people. On my father's side, well documented since 1840. Mum's side is a bit more complicated, and I could be anything.
