The Lists2 server at RootsWeb is again having problems, so I hope this gets through !!! Welcome to Terry Rook who has joined this week. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** While a lot of us are trying to climb 18th & 19th Century "brick-walls" in Buteshire, some have "brickwalls" or interests in the 20th century - at least up to the boundary reorganisation of 1974 which is the cut off for this list. So to help these subscribers out, the topic for at least August is "Island memories" ****** ****** ****** I tried to forward this earlier in the week, but due to the server problems, it eventually bounced back to me. If you are interested, please reply to Jim at the address given below ... > Hi Peter, > Got your mail address from one of Janelles postings. > My name is Jim Miller and I am resident on the Isle of Bute, and a member of > Bute Sons and Daughters. > > I am in the process of compiling a short history of Brandanes from Bute who > migrated to other lands.
