Woweeee ........ what fantastic news! :-)

How did you find this?

Perhaps I should thank my aunt for marrying into said Fishlock family!
If had not joined Genes I would not have 'found' and met Rose and her family links by a chance remark on a thread a couple of years ago.
Although at present I am not tracing this distant line it still interests me.
