Facebook Connections

Never thought Facebook would lead to re-connecting with cousins and family not in contact for many years. It's not just for teens, seems people of all ages are finding it a great way to stay in contact, broaden minds (by playing scrabble or taking grammar tests etc) and share photos. One of my cousins has focused his page on our parents lives growing up in Tonga.

That's my mother on her fathers knee, in Tonga about 1927/28. Read her diaries to experience a little of the life of a teenage girl in 1940 when the family came back to Australia after many years in Ha'apai. Click Pat Pyne's Diaries link on the right of this page.
