Hi Carol I have four John Handleys on my tree born between 1732 and 1825 that I havent traced yet, and there is also a family that came to Kansas or at least a daughter named Janette was shown on the 1891 census of Cambridge as being born in 1874 in Kansas whether one of the John Handleys travelled at the same time I dont know. What we need is a shipping list into Canada. Will contact you again. Alan At 20:05 23/11/99 EST, you wrote: > My Great Grandmother, Anna Handley, was born in 1847 in Canada.
