I am a descendant of the forster family from he North East and particularly an interseted in the social history angle of their lives and deaths in the mining communities. By plotting the familys progress and movements, I and other members have a new found respect for something that we, from outside the area knew little about. Adding the miners and their families to my ever-growing tree with accurate informatoin will ensure that they are never forgotten and we can acknowledge appreciate the hardships that they endurred so we can have tbe lives we have.
