Hi there Becky Thank you for your reply. Yes there are bound to be mistakes over the years. I've just spotted one of my own)-: On the previous message I put Francis BORDEN's marriage to Jane VICKERS as 12 Mar 1677 when I should have put 12 Apr1677. Yes of course I am glad to share. I think the best thing would be for me to start at the earliest stuff, and do what I can with the time I have available. Iam caring for my elderly husband Pat, who has Alzheimers disease so I am at home a lot. Sometimes I have to leave this and do things for him. >From the notes I have: The earliest BURDOUN was on Roll of Battle Abbey.Earlier ancestor was believed to have been in William of Normandy's army.
