Oh wow Wulliam, that's a brilliant one! I typed in the very small Cornish village from which my MIL's ancestors originate, not expecting to find anything, and there are two photos. Thank you for pointing this one out. Mandy in Somerset

Hi Grumpy Old Woman :)))) Though I live in Gateshead I have precisely no connections here - north of Scotland and south of England - that's me!! But it's a lovely site - thanks for taking the time to point it out! William

I seem to be having connection all over. All starting from the North East which is where i come from, Mams side is all over newcastle and area with a branch going Northwards into Coldstream. dont know where else it is going to take me. Dads side is from Sunderland, and has gone south to yorkshire and to Norfolk..... it was a surprise, as i have only just started on dads side.
