Hi Listers, Are there any historians among you that might be able to help me with regards to a very frustrating problem. I am researching the name of MADG(E)N mainly living in the Alston/Nenthead and surrounding areas. I have recently been contacted by a young lady who is researching the name of MADG(I)N in the same areas, though I must say that some of them appear to have slid down to Northumberland. Can anyone tell me if these two families could in some way be related. The names and dates she has quoted on her Tree does not match anyone on my Tree, but the similarity of the name is frustrating. Can anyone help Researching MADGEN, MADGIN Thanks for your help Dotty way down in Surrey, England
