My present distant relative I'm researching, Edwin Samuel Montagu
knew a lot of well-known people like Churchill, Asquith, Ghandi,
also he was a contributer to the Balfour Declaration for Palestine in 1917.
 [:)]

I am having so much educational fun and I might even get stuck with
science stuff then I know which wonderful board to come to for advice/help
 [:)]

Yes The Naked Scientists, who else !!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Karen for encouraging me.  [:)]


Your welcome Rosalind... I hope you have tons of fun learning so many cool things about your family!

I think it is absolutely fascinating!

It is a lot of hard tedious work but as you say lots of interesting..stuff.

It is good to take breaks and keep it fun and enjoyable.

Karen yes and now I wish that I had thought of that last year, oh well hindsight is useless.

Learning is GREAT.  [:)]

Yes it is Rosalind. I am glad you have found yourself the right pace with which to conduct your research and learn.

Perhaps you might try to accomplish something on your own rather than sucking off the memory of your relatives.
What an horrendously tactless remark.  I think it's fairly obvious to anyone that has read this thread that Rosalind is proud of her family and sharing the interesting things she finds as she researches them.  Your comment adds nothing but bad feeling to this thread.

Please try to be a little more tactful, and perhaps more friendly in future.

Thanks for Posting tha Ben..I am sorry to say That I missed that post!

 I agree with you and Think it was quite an insulting comment and in poor taste to say the least!

I am proud of Rosalinds politeness in reply to your hurtful comment and am tickled pink that she is learning about her family and taking an active roll in keeping her relatives  accomplishments alive.. this is ruely how we all live on through eternity.. in the pride and joy and memories we pass down to our families... Truely a wonderful hereritage she has and with good reason to feel pride in her lineage....
Bravo Rosalind... and thanks Ben for the heads up...
I do apoligise for not seeing that post Rosalind...
If I had I too would have resonded sooner... I am sorry!

This is a good positive thread so lets keep it that way!

Thank Ben and Karen, somehow I missed that post. I don't know why or how.

Karen that's nice of you to say it's a positive thread. It's appreciated loads.

I have had contact from someone all due to this thread and they are writing a book about
Women Scientists which surprised but pleased me loads.  [:)]

Ok Phil

Rosalind Franklin was my first cousin and one my life's main regrets is that I never met this brilliant and beautiful lady.
She discovered the Single DNA Helix in 1953, then it was taken by Wilkins without her knowledge or agreeement.

112inky it's a pleasure to share my knowledge about Rosalind Franklin and the other relatives I've mentioned then I'm proud of her achievements which are now recognised more than they were in the
1950s.  [;D]

I have recently found a distant (late) relative who worked in the last war, WW2 for the "SoE" Special Operations Executive as a Spy !!!

Wow and he's not the only spy in the family. His name was/is
Hon. Lionel Samuel Montagu, youngest child and youngest son of
HOn. Samuel Montagu, 1st baronet Swaythling, Hampshire UK.
