ah GN. I take it you were happy in your adoptive home so that is great.
I too was adopted but then sort of DISCARDED LOL ending up with nobody at all.
Many adopted or other people have a yearning to know who they are their family roots. I did actually meet my mother after the war-- lived with her for .just three awfful months-- never saw her again.
But there was a family history class here where my husband already knew quite a lot about his own Family----------
Some of us have a curiosity-- others don't. It has been so much easier since the internet--.
so much general information can be gleaned though especially about local history and the way people lived and worked and as there are so many changes--that in itself is fascinating and often worth knowing for those who have an interest in such things.
The way many convicts from our country were sent to Australia-- the former child migrants from here who were sent there and other co0mmonwealth countries.
AUstralia itself----------
