Preview:My wife and I were both in the army during WW2 and in the years that followed were busy with training and a young family and had little thought or time for genealogy. But things were to change: a friend in London spotted in a sale of miniatures one of 'Sarah Donne - 1832 - Bristol'. He bought it for us and later bringing it to us uttered the fatal words, "Wouldn't it be interesting to see if she is related to your family". We were hooked.
