Hello all, I love to help and monitor boards to answer questions. Recently helped someone on the Boulder County, Colorado board and they said they lived in Boulder and if I needed anything feel free to ask. I answered "Thank you but I have all my Boulder research done." Both lists may feel free to email me and call me STUPID and/or ARROGANT (or anything else but please don't question my parents marital status). Not long after that, I bumped into a connection that has opened multiple doors. Only problem is we can't connect it all. She has many (30 or more) old photos that are family. I can positively identify 4 as my line with ties to the Carltons of Cumberland ; in fact 2 could only be through the Carltons. I believe because of these all the others must be related to the Carltons (Sarah Isabella (Carlton) Birkett seems to be the focal point of it all). I can make a very strong (but circumstantial) case for the rest being Carltons, Birketts, Irvings and others from Cumberland. Steve Bulman has very graciously agreed to post them on his site - ( http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/ ) and I would greatly appreciate if you all would review them to see if you recognize a face. I just tonight sent him the first set so it will be a while before they are posted. But if I may recommend, go there now anyway - great site ! Especially for those of us who have never "been back" home to Cumberland - breathtaking photos of a beautiful place. David
