My Newsletter was released November 2007. I have decided to make a log of some of the responses and enquiries I receive.. [I cant possibly log them all] But I have not come across another freebee website, that logs their research. So, If you genuinely feel you may have a link or enquiry, it is strongly recommended that you leave a message in my "Guestbook" or "Email Me" orange _ art @ hotmail.co.uk [cut and paste the email and close the gaps,, I have to avoid SP AM] so that at some point in the future, I can contact you, and will forward you information, if I believe there may be a match to YOUR TREE!.. So what have you got to gain! hopefully new cousins researching similar lines!!!! [yes I can put you in touch with relatives, you did not know existed! - How,,, By first of all informing you that "someone" I am in touch with may be a relative of your tree".. I do not give away names or addresses, for obvious reasons... If you wish to pursue the relative,, I then contact them too, and do not reveal your name or your email address..., then if both parties agree, I email you both a message from myself.. It has helped a number of cousins of my tree, who have been pleased to be put in touch.....So if you would like your tree to grow, this is the PLACE
Ongoing Research,,, If you Find an Interest below, please do email me....
