Hi Nancy, Well I thought that if Handleys on your side of the water were stumped that may be a source not looked at. I didnt know about that scheme, so many children being uprooted and sent abroad to possibly better lives? Still better than being in a 'Home'. By the way looks like I've located that Uriah Handley via your website mailing list archives. Part of a message I've received. So it pays to advertise. '"I wandered into a Handley Rootsweb List and saw some archived queries including yours about the Handley family from Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire with a grandaughter named Jeanette, aged 17, born in Kansas. The query also says that her father you are sure was Uriah Handley, though you didn't know when he emigrated. I know a lot about this family and have recently received a family report about them because my husband is a descendent of one of Uriah's siblings and Larrie's cousin has done a lot of work on the research on this family."' So I must say thank you Nancy for suggesting I joined you e-mail group and posted my query, thank you. Alan At 13:11 27/12/99 EST, you wrote: >Interesting search and site, Alan.
