We certainly should be doing it properly and if that's how it should be spelt, so be it!

Thankyou Gardener for pointing it out

That's what worries me! My English is totally out of date and the only rude expressions my kids hear are circa 1980
It doesn't worry me that much so go with what you lot like

Let's see what the consensus of opinion is, shall we?

Come on everyone........Ancestors Week..or...Ancestors' Week ???

been thinking about it and my vote is with the apostrophe....no one ask Peterd though

I know Gardners Ancestors' is the correct way to spell it but I must admit I like the look of Ancestors better for the T Shirt.

Annie

Well i think Peterd should have the casting vote!!

Your vote could be useful Rob..

Well count on me buying one which ever way it is spelt

Annie

Nice one Annie!

I remember hearing that.......so I am changing my mind drop the apostrophe....let's be radical!

This is a great idea and I am sure the local history groups or conservation groups would welcome support.
There are many local projects going on around us that always need volunteers.
One of those is organised graveyard maintenance your local history society or church may know of a project
going on or contact your local archives or volunteer bureau.

Perhaps next year we can organise something ourselves and all meet up which would be good too.

Finding out about where we all came from, who they were what they did is a popular and rewarding hobby.
The Black Country Connections tree is also pleased to be associated with this launch of
Ancestors Week

It's here then ANCESTORS' WEEK...................

Here's to my Worton, Stringer, Southall, Westwood, Sidaway, Mansell, Windmill, Haynes, Brown, Willetts, Jones, Yardley, Reading and Mason Ancestors, it's been a pleasure finding you all, and an honour, here's to another year of finding even more revelations, thanks for the memories from Linell.

Like it....well said Linell

HAPPY ANCESTORS WEEK TO ALL THE MEMBERS ON THE FORUM AND YOUR ANCESTORS

Mallosa , Northern Lass and Linnel can I say what lovely words you have all wrote , I do volunteer for the Huddersfield FHS doing subscribing and going round grave yards transcribing the headstone's so I will work a bit harder this week at it , I also take my close ancestors flowers to the cemetery and crematorium every 2 weeks , this week I will also visit some of the others further down the line .

I'm looking forward to arranging things for next and do hope it can take off in a big way, we will have to make posters and ask them to put them up in local library and archives.

Last but not least I hope some of my ancestors come out of hiding this week.

Annie
