ALPHA-OMEGA

I had received this curious message on my mobile phone to check out a website called Tribal Pages.com I thought the message was from a friend having fun with me; perhaps Kathy, who was very interested in genealogy. But before I could get to the net, another message from someone by the name of Kevin appeared.... saying he might be related to me....

I ignored the first MSM message, but when it appeared again, I was shocked to realise that something was really happening - I made contact and lo.... My family tree - It was .... growing right before my eyes!!

Met my half brother Robert Smeallie face to face with my 27 year old daughter Claire.

We drove to Woy Woy where Robert and his wife, Jill, put on a really tasty bar-B-que. Their teenage daughter, my niece Charis [ Hey! Wow! I am an Uncle! ] was not home for the evening, but my 10 year old nephew Stephen surprised me with his bright eyed nature. The many photos of the extended family Robert was able to supply us with were mind boggling. He has really been busy.

Phoned by Cousin Veronica. Had a long phone conversation

Phoned by Auntie Eva, Mum's sister. Had a long phone conversation from 8:45pm to 11:58pm. She is a very young 82 years of Age.

A surprise phone call from Wendy Maslin, my sister. We had a relatively short conversation covering important details and said I would call her back from a landline phone later in the day.

But later I received an SMS message that she was going out for a drink ["needing one" she said laughing] and would I call back next night.

This diary to be continued.......

and PS:  The search for my mother, who is also Rob's mother, continues.....
