To all the list members, This is what the Barraclough group is about, ask the question's and tell us about your Barraclough's you never know some of us just have have some info on YOUR Barraclough's. It's funny Leslie, I have downloaded the same photo and history, of John B but have not had time to check out his origins as yet, I am sure that with Pat, you and myself on their trail we will get to the bottom of their ancestry. Thanks Leslie, I am sure Pat also thanks you, and thanks to Gloria, for sending Pat our way, at least she will know what John looked like now.
