Does anyone have a current email address for SHANE LAMBERT who I 'met' on this list a couple of years ago. I believe Shane lived in Leeds and was a student of Medieval History. I know he changed jobs at the end of last year and I haven't heard from him since. Shane was very helpful and even went as far as visiting St. Oswalds Cemetery where some of my ancestors are buried and took photo's of family graves for me. I would love to know how things are with him these days. If anyone knows how I can contact him I would be most grateful. > Happy Hunting > > Sue in Victoria, Australia > Researching: > > Hull: WOOD > PETTY > HOLDER > OMOND > North Yorks: PETTY > WOOD > PRODHAM > RIPLEY > > Liverpool: MOORE > BOYCE > Northumberland: > HAFFEY > ENGLISH > MURRAY > > Glasgow: HAFFEY > RIGLEY > McGARRY > CURRY > MATHIE > > ==== ENG-NORTH-YORKS Mailing List ==== > ---> Some placed you don't want to miss!! > ~~ "Newbies' Guide: http://www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html ~~ > ~~ Genuki England: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/ ~~ > ~~ UK Public Records Office: http://www.pro.gov.uk ~~ > ~~ UK Newspapers? http://dds.nl/~kidon/media-link/ukpapers.shtml ~~ > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
