RE: Oliver family day
Permalink  
 


To Shane, Jane, Shane's Dad, Catering Staff and All,

Thank you for a very enjoyable day trip into Oxfordshire.  There will be plenty of information to add to my Olivers.  Very appropriate that it was held in the old school and good to know there was a connection to the Oliver Name.   I now know where Bermuda is situated and will record the sad death of Joshua. 

Very good to see that excellent group photograph and the new Family Tree.

Spent a few days in Warwickshire and home now.

Regards from Betty, Deborah and Gillian

Hi Linda,

Don't worry, its mainly just a new look and it only went up yesterday so nothing missed.

There is the new 'Family Tree' feature, but I'm going to post something to the messageboard about that separately.

Glad you've got the picture now - yes, quite a jolly lot hey, happy to be out in the sun!

Thanks,
Shane

No....I had the old site bookmarked and that's what I always used.  I didn't even know you had restyled the site!

I've been getting the current stuff on the messageboard but I'm now wondering if I've been missing anything elsewhere on the site.  Time for a refresher tour around the site I think.

Great group photo - we look quite a happy bunch.

 

Linda

Help me out Shane - I can't find the photo!  

What do you mean by top menu? I've only got a left hand side menu!

Morning Irene,

There is a larger, pannable and zoomable, version now on the website - it can be found under the Family History option on the top menu.

Enjoy!

Thanks
Shane

Hi Shane,

Just found the beautiful photo taken on Sunday. Several faces I recognise. I will not say the obvious - `if the Devil should cast his net....`Looking forward to seeing the video.

Irene

Do you mean to tell me I missed cakes too!!!!

Just discovered you have to let red wine breath - when it stops breathing you just have to give it the kiss of life.

Cheers

Irene

Hello Jane

A couple of cakes and washing up a few cups is the least we could do for all the help and support you generously give us all on the Family history day and everyday on the website.  You really deserve the title of Most Honorable Honarary Member of the Oliver Family.

Thanks a million.

Linda

Hi Jane, all of the credit for being able to tell Solomon and Joshua's tale belongs to you, no questions!

Your tenacity and the employment of your vast experience of the various resources out there has been invaluable in reaching the point whereby you were able to present a fascinating and factual step by step conclusion to one of our longest and most challenging Oliver puzzles.

I, and all the other Oliver's very much appreciate the benefits we gain from your time, effort and experience as we march into another year of fact finding - how exciting!

Seriously, thanks Jane.
Shane

Hi Linda

It was all Shane's work organising the big day, so the credit should all be his.  I was just an extra pair of hands on the day.  It was great to be part of it.  So well done Shane for another successful Oliver Day.

Thank YOU Linda and your fellow washers-up for the sterling work you did in the kitchen! I am glad I didn't have to face that mountain of cups and saucers.  What a lot of tea, coffee and cake got consumed!  Very delicious cake too: I tested three different ones and think the lemon sponge was my favourite.

Now, I wonder what Oliver discoveries will be made during the next year?  There must be lots more we don't know . . .

Jane

Hi Linda,

Thanks for that, I'm glad you enjoyed the day, and I have to agree, I too found Irene's video quite an emotional little piece with a very fitting message for all of us (and I knew it was coming!).

Very nice to know all those late nights of preparing this, that and the other are well received and appreciated.

Onwards into another year of research now hey!

Thanks also to you and Janet from those scruuuummy cakes!

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you Shane and Jane for another fantastic Oliver family history day.  

It was great to meet up with everyone again and to see some new faces.  As usual the presentations were extremely interesting.

Irene's very appropriate and emotional message as the finale was the 'icing on the cake'.

 

Linda
