Hello All. Many thanks for the response to the Freen enquiry.  My friend was delighted to see that their were others who were familiar with the surname.  She says that, for the moment, she would carefully look through the correspondence sent, then try and see if she can go a little bit further on her own with this enquiry.  She thamks you all for your input, I do too.  My own interests would be Melvilles, but I do not think that many of that surname are to be found in Co Donegal, past or present? Many thanks again, Lisa. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
