No. My daughter has always asked more questions about my parents than her brother has, but she's never taken it any further than that. She said yesterday that she couldn't understand why they would persist in trying to contact me after all this time. That's what she couldn't understand either. We're very close and we talk. They know about my father's family history and she's always shown interest in geneology of the family name and all that, but has never expressed any interest in my mother's side of the family. I guess that's because we don't know any of it. lol If she wants to for some reason in the future, that's up to her. My son (autism spectrum) doesn't really contemplate history at all. He lives in a different time and place. His world is in the instant... the here and now. Not the past and not the future. That's just the way he is although he has taken to making plans which is something he's never done before. Great step forward for him I see. Helps me not worry about him quite so much in the future when I'm not around.

Thanks for you reply. I always find it difficult talking about "me". It just has helped today to clarify my thoughts a lot. Thankyou.
