Hi everyone I was so excited to hear from people actually hunting this surname in Scotland and not in America!! I think I've replied to you all - if not, my sincere apologies. Since I've sent my initial email to the list, my elderly mother has been admitted to hospital rather abruptly very ill with the influenza, and I now seem to be coming down with it. *sigh* aren't I lucky to have a sharing caring parent? I've had a bit of time to add a few files to my website with various Crawford names and other names associated with my family. This is only a very very small part of what I have here regarding my scots lines - but time being what it is with trying to finish a book to publish, care for my mother and everyday life, you are all most welcome to browse through what I have had time to put on there and I hope, for your sakes, it is of some help. Wouldn't it be lovely if there was a general database of all info collected by us all to view - free of charge? Never mind, my site might be very small - but it's a start. http://aussiebarb01.tripod.com/aussiebarb01.htm PS: Ignore all the other stuff on my site - it did originally start life as my first attempt at a homepage lol Regards to all MANY thanks for your replies Yours blundering about in research and trying to rattle a few skeletons Barb (alias rooie) Hafslund Brisbane Australia [email protected]
