I am interested in knowing how many Graham | researchers of families in the Cumberland and Dumfriesshire areas would be | prepared to collaborate and share some of their research. | I am particularly interested in research pre 1800 in and around mainly, but | not exclusive to, Arthuret, Kirkandrews, Kirklinton and Cannonbie parishes. | | If you are such a researcher, I would love to hear from you, perhaps | together we can join up some of the families of these areas. | | My own Graham family traces back to c.1670-1680 in Arthuret Parish and has | connections to other parishes in the area. In recent times it appears that | I may have connections to parishes on the Scottish side of the Border in | Cannonbie and Westerkirk. | | Best regards, | Bruce Glass | New Zealand | | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to | DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without | the quotes in the subject and the body of the message | | | ------------------------------- | To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
