Thanks for that Pamela
Can relate to nearly every one of those 50 points.
Especially numbers 47, 48 and 50.
Well Carly has made progress. Anyone else like to
repost their lines, info they found about their
line or others not related etc. Especially from
those who are new or have not posted recently.
Look forward to finding out where we all are at
with our family lines and helping out if and where
I can. Connecting up more cousins would be great.
Regards
Michael Cheeseman
