Newspaper coincidence

On Thursday 26 April 2012 while I was working at the local Archive as a Volunteer, another Volunteer was unfolding an old newspaper that had been donated. She found an article on a local family with a photo of the founding settler and his family tree had been printed in the newspaper and I helped her use the photocopier to make a copy of the family information to file in the Archive Families file. On Sunday 29 April 2012 my mother came to visit. She had been cleaning out cupboards in her home and brought me four old newspapers. I opened the first one of the four, and there was the same photo staring back at me; it was the same March 1952 newspaper. I decided I had better look at this family tree with more care, and among the names of descendants I found a family that I recognized from my own family research. One of the grandchildren of the founder had married one of my distant cousins children. I missed the connection the first time round, so fate gave me a second opportunity to get information on this family. Janet New Zealand
