May we wish you all a happy, peaceful and healthy New Year

Ring Out the old year, Ring in the new
Farewell 2018 Welcome 2019

Farewell 2018 -- Greetings 2019

Gone but not forgotten, this blog is dedicated 

to all those who have borne our illustrious

surnames LAWS and LAWES Worldwide

Gremlins in the woodwork, elves, fairies and nature spirits and all manner of wee folk, are abroad at the end of one year and the beginning of the next, so genealogists should beware of disturbing those who are but sleeping, and treat the past with respect

  -----------'Welches Dam, Cambridgeshire England ---------

Lord, help me dig into the past and sift the sands of time. 

That I might find the roots that made this family tree of mine.

Lord, help me trace the ancient roads, on which our fathers trod.

Which led them through so many lands, to find our present sod.

that missing link between some name that ends the same as mine

Lord help me find an ancient book or dusty manuscript, 

that's safely hidden now away, in some forgotten crypt. 

Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts my soul when I can't find,

that missing link between some name, that ends the same as mine.
