Awesome! I have been doing the exact same thing this Spring. My sister and I also spent several weeks traveling around trying to locate the burial sites of all the family we could find and photographed all the info we could. Thanks for sharing. Nice to know I am not alone on this type of documentation.
Interesting video, Keith. We have quite a few photos from my grandparents and great-grandparents, like your only a few studio images. At the moment, I need to get my folks to identify who is in them, especially the more distant relatives. It's important to know where you came from, I think. Great photo of young Keith at the end.
Thanks Andrew. Sometimes it is a struggle to come up with an idea that could be interesting, and then one just drops into your lap. I've always found family photos interesting and it can be rewarding to search for the background info. I guess I was a good looking kid, so I don't know what happened since 😆 Cheers, Keith
I've become the de-facto family historian. I think I've got copies of most photo's on my father's side, but as its a working class family there's nothing before the thirties. Have less of my mother's side. I remember more photo's from my childhood of my grandparents on my mother's side but when both my parents passed away my mother's family photo's weren't there when we cleared the house. No oil paintings with stately homes in the background though, thankfully I'm working class through and through, nobody in my family made a fortune out of trading slaves ... thank goodness.
Fascinating Iain. I have inherited family trees from both sides of the family and it is rather surprising that on my father's (working class) side we are actually descended from Robert the Bruce, though we seem to have fallen from grace about 5 generations ago. Cheers, Keith
Interesting family and social history
Thanks Kevin. I find it fascinating. Cheers, Keith
That was fascinating! Thank you.
Thanks. I keep trying to spend more time on the family history and I enjoy finding stuff like this. Cheers, Keith
Wonderful stuff Kieth.
Yours is my favourite channel to watch on UA-cam.
Encore!
Thanks. A comment like yours is helpful when I'm suffering from self-doubt. Cheers, Keith
Great stuff Keith. Really enjoyed the video.
Thanks Marco. Keith

Thanks Terry. I have always been interested in where I came from and I have also done a bit of gravestone hunting. Cheers, Keith
