Hello, I am new to this list and have reached a dead end in Monmouthshire, so I am widening my search. Is anyone researching the ROWLAND surname in Gloucestershire. I am particularly looking for a Thomas Rowland born about 1770 - 1800, although any information may be useful Regards Dai Rogiet Gwent >From: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: subscribe >Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 10:09:18 -0700 > >You have added to the subscriber list of: > > [email protected] > >the following mail address: > > [email protected] > >By default, copies of your own submissions will be returned. > > >WELCOME TO THE FOREST OF DEAN MAILING LIST!!!!!! > >WHO IS THE LIST OWNER? >The list owner is Kineta Hill, My relations come from all over the UK, but >mainly the Forest.
