Finding Sheila Sergenson

By Simon Varwell

You may recall, over a year ago, that I found a five pound note with “Sheila Sergenson” written on it, and set out to try and track her down.

Well, as the observant of you might have noticed, I found her. Or rather, she found me, when she commented on one of my blog posts.

Of course, that could have been anyone. But interestingly, some months back I had an email from a woman named Elaine, who was related to some Sergensons and stumbled across my blog when doing some family tree research.

Over a few weeks we exchanged information about Sergensons, and it turns out that she is vaguely related to Sheila Sergenson, was able to track her down, and has now been reconnected to that otherwise lost branch of her family.

So it may have seemed a silly idea, but not only did I find Sheila Sergenson but a long-lost relative found her too.

Nice.
