To all my friends and rellies online, On Monday, I will be making the big pond jump from Canada to England and I will be unsubbing tonight from all my wonderful lists for the weekend to spend extra time with my daughter and finish all last minute preparations. I AM SO EXCITED! (no, that isn't a last name I just capitalized - hee hee - sorry if I made anyone nervous! <mischievous grins>) If you are corresponding about my surnames already, please continue but email me at karmic_raider@hotmail.com while I am gone ... I will have access to the internet most of the time.:>) If it can wait and isn't vital to the research I will be doing in England please let it wait for me. If you have an interest in one of my surnames below and we haven't connected yet, PLEASE hold onto my email address and send it AFTER I let the lists know that I am home and have myself all together again! (as if I ever really am!) I will miss you all and will, with any luck, have lots to contribute when I return in the way of data, stories AND pics, pics, pics to share !!!!
