Meme: Today's subject is Family
Dec. 19th, 2013 12:31 pmIn a broad sense, I have rather a large family.
My mother's mother was one of about a dozen children, and she produced five who survived to adulthood. There are eleven of her descendants in my generation, and several of us have children too. I have vague notions of the existence of grandmother-level cousins (and, consequently, their offspring), most of them in the vicinity of Bedford. In fact, one such cousin died a couple of years ago and left me some money, completely to my astonishment. I suppose he had a much more complete picture of the family tree than I do, and, without children of his own, left them to his cousins.
Speaking of family trees, my aunt and her husband have done a fair bit of research, and came up with a tree for the descendants of John Uff and Elizabeth Norman, the umpty-great grandparents of my mother. John Uff died in 1580, in Buckinghamshire. There are a lot of Johns and Williams in it. And Elizabeths, like my maternal grandmother. If you are an Uff, you are related to me. Hi!
