So has your day gone according to plan?
Well today I had Burger King instead of the normal sandwich, my little brother brought me a whopper trio. Not that I don't like sandwiches but I do like surprises once in a while. Other than that my day has gone the usual way it goes with the exception of my foot hurting a lot, I have to call my wife and remind her to bring some Tylenol over.
I worked a bit on my family tree today it's like looking for needles in a haystack, when you find something you scream for joy. I have approached different family members on both sides of my parents but up to this point I have been met with resistance, why, I have no idea. The one who has advanced my family tree a lot is a second generation cousin who also likes genealogy like I do, also I have been very lucky finding pictures or information at places least expected.
For example, my first degree cousin had a photo album with the picture of my great-grandfather. Now there's a story, my great-grandfather left my great-grandmother to have an affair with a lady who sold meat at the public market thus creating the family line of my cousin. It's very complicated, trust me, but the fact is that I have a picture of this gentleman who was a general in my country's army. If he wouldn't have had an affair my cousin wouldn't be here to talk about it and I wouldn't have a picture of that person. Thanks to my second generation cousin I have pictures of my great-grandparents on my grandmother's side and I'm still looking for information, apparently we come from Africa but then again so do you...

Arrivederci people!
PS check out the pictures of my great-grandparents.
