Hallo Lynn and everyone I would like to thank all of you who replied with help for my friend Anne earlier this year. We now believe that Lynn led Anne to destroy her brick wall as the old entry on Genes Reunited turned out to be from a half cousin of hers that she knew nothing about. We have no real idea where FC Caldwell came from, only the tales he told, but Anne now believes that he had married another woman before he went to Padstow and married her grandmother and then moved on again. How we would have found that without your help we cannot imagine. So thanks very much Mary and Anne in Devon, England ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn Cowan" <ablrcowan@iprimus.com.au> To: "Mary" <mary.armitage@talktalk.net> Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 5:52 AM Subject: Re: [AUS-SAGEN] Frederick Charles Caldwell born c 1883 Australia > Hi Mary > > found this why on the internet > > http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/community/posts/596603/default.aspx > > regards Lynn > Genealogy is like playing hide and seek.
