After a day long train journey we arrived in Great Yarmouth, walked to our guest house, and found Thanksgiving dinner at a Greek restaurant. Funny to find turkey and stuffing at Othellos. It was pretty good, too! On Monday we hit the library for family tree research, where I was asked be to a witness at a wedding. This turned out to be a highlight of my week. The couple, Sue and Ian, were so happy and the ceremony was really moving. The wedding was the first one in this registry office as it just opened. Fun!
The research is going well, we found some info at the Norfolk Family History Centre in Norwich, and Michael was lucky today to find information on his great great grandfather, James Bailey....he even saw a document with his signature. I stayed in Great Yarmouth and walked along the sea shore. Did a little window shopping and and stopped at Subway for lunch.
For a fun time we are going to the cemetery tomorrow.......
