Hi Eveyone, Well our group in not even a week old yet and already we have a success story. John Berry, welcome to our Barraclough Mega Family Tree, from the information you sent to the group you appear to have yourself descending from the same line as me, but I tend to think that you descend from the same line as Tina Cornwell. But we can work that out, no problem and sort out the various Francis Barraclough's that were all born around the same time as each other, and all appear to be cousins :-(( They sure don't make it easy for us do they :-)) John I do have information on the Barraclough of Haworth, who were the clockmakers, all the information prior to 1791 on our tree has been supplied by our cousin Derek Barraclough in Bradford and June Benn, in London. Both exceptionally excellent researchers. Roberta Andersen, it is more than likely you also connect to our Mega Barraclough tree as well, but your connection would be further up the tree than John's. I have information on our tree back that far, but some of the lines have not been brought down. Although I have an idea which branch you may descend from. To say I am excited at this point is an under statement :-)) I didn't think I could get any more excited than I was about the Barraclough group forming, but I am :-)) May this be the start of finding connections to you all.
