Marianne Hall, who started working on her family tree on the back of a piece of wallpaper in 1999, has been reunited with it after parting from it following a house move.
“It’s marvellous to have it back,” says Hall. “Because now I’m a great-grandmother, so now there’s another young individual who will likely be interested over the years.”
The wallpaper was found at a thrift store by Cristine Lund who was thinking of cutting up the six feet long sheet of wallpaper for lining furniture.
