Hello John,
Our oral family history has it that we're descended from Thomas Carlyle's father.
I haven't been able to discover the exact link. My great grandfather was Robert James
Carlyle (born in Liverpool or surrounding area, I believe) who emigrated to Canada and
then the U.S. I know most of his family stayed in England and think one brother - Edward
Carlyle ran a hotel. I've got a letter from him to my GGF and some other items. I
would be interested in sharing any information.
