Liz and Mark: You have my sympathies ... I've only found one other person in the U.S. researching my particular branch of the Blackburn family. On the other hand, I'm a little jealous, because I'm trying to trace us BACK TO the U.K., and you're already there. Is it easier to find information on the family in the U.K. than it is here? (Apparently my Blackburns had an aversion to keeping good family records). Cheers!
