Let's keep this blog alive

I'd like to encourage as many of my huge extended family to post a picture and some information, about themselves, what Country and town they live in and what their connection is to the Dowling family. To get this off thing off, I  am posting myself and then hope others will follow. So why not post something and encourage all your relatives who are not contributors to email me so that I can give them access. Email me at marthasfamilyblog@gmail.com

Hi I am Kate daughter of Rene. Martha was my Grandma. I am married to Andy and had one son Steve. 
My Mum had 5 children Tom, Alan, Me, Patricia and Susan. Sadly Alan died last year. Tom lives in France, Patricia in Folkestone and Sue in Merseyside.
This pic is of me with my lovely grandchildren Tom (12) and Ollie (8)  Andy and I have an apartment in the same house as Steve Jo and the Grandkids. They live in the main house and we live upstairs on the top floor apartment. Andy and I are semi retired so we travel a lot and use the (Nanaland) apartment when we are back in UK. it works great. We all love music and I think this comes through the generations. In our home there are 3 pianos, 5 guitars, 2 PA systems and a set of drums in the house! The poor neighbours!

    Hi Kate....Think this is such a good idea.....have just posted on FBook your idea of 'moving forward' with our family and would like to create a master email list in order to gather information for our family tree.....now that I'm 'retired' maybe I can put in some time on this project. This is what I posted on FBook

    To my 'JOHNSON' side of the family --- about 19 direct cousins, who may or may not be on FaceBook, plus their children and grandchildren .....have been reading Martha's Life Blog started by cousin Kate and it's amazing how many participate. Now that I am 'retired' am considering another major project of creating a family tree. As cousin Kate has suggested, instead of going 'backwards' thought we'd 'go forward' from Edward and Martha....just to see how much we have grown. If anyone is interested, please send me your email address but instead of posting on this page, just send to me via 'messages. I will create a master email list for all so that I can collect info on all cousins, their children and their grandchildren, etc. Martha and Edward raised 7 children so let's see how many of us there are now. Will also post this request on the blog.

    My email address is: cupot@nc.rr.com

    Want to see if I can list all cousins, their spouses children and so on.....we must be a huge family by now!!
