Brehme is my married name. I am interested in a copy of Blacksheariana as the originator came to England to look up the UK side of the family, I believe back in the late 50's early 60's. Unfortunately, the only Blackshear he could find in the London directory was a particularly bad tempered great uncle who, according to family history, told him to get lost. so sorry!I am interested in contacting other Blackshears, although I thought our origins were Chester and the first Blackshear who went to the US was in the 1600's. Can anyone enlighten me? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
