Re: our "friends in Africa"
There's a lot of 'sudden deaths' happening in Africa, particularly amongst people with our surname 
Didn't even know we had any relatives over there 
As geneology is my hobby you would think I would have known 
Click on the spam button and flush them away, that's what I do - though I have been known to reply asking them for money as I am desperately hard up and need a bit of spare cash
Funny how they never answer

When I subscribed I was pleasantly surprised when "Annabella" was accepted. I didn't think that the name was that unusual. However, HAVE to say that nobody could possibly confuse you with me. I am HUNDREDS of years older........
Best wishes, Anne
