Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

For various reasons I haven't seen my dad's face for 35 years. He's been dead since 1974 and I have no photographs. I've often wondered.

Joining this site brought back so many memories and deepened my curiosity and to cut a long story short I managed to get in touch with my dad's sister last week and visited this weekend. I haven't seen my aunt and uncle since my dad died either.

Yesterday I came home with an armful of photographs of my father and I haven't stopped looking at them since. I look like him and I know that for certain now.

If Harringayonline hadn't been here life might have taken a different turn and I might still not be quite sure what my father looked like.

Not all the thanks is due to Harringayonline but a large part of it is, particularly to Hugh who set this up in the first place.

That's the power of a community site such as this.

Thank you.
