Hi Kim, I am sorry it has taken so long to thank you for your kindness, but we have just changed over to ADSL and what should have been a simple conversion was anything but. It has taken me almost a week to get my email up and running again. The Barraclough information supplied is wonderful and I truly appreciate your sharing it with me (and I will add it to my database) but I am more interested, at the moment, in trying to find the present day branch of the family. The photo I have has a dried up bunch of flowers on the grave which indicates that there must be someone out there who cares. I would dearly love to find that person. :) Lyn ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kim Pasquill" <kmp789@net2000.com.au> To: <BARRACLOUGH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 01, 1997 3:20 AM Subject: Re: [BARRACLOUGH] Barraclough/Wilkinson > Hi Lyn, > > Welcome to the group.
