GLORIA - It's a small world. I am named after my grandfather who was born in Salford, England [next door to Manchester]. He immigrated to New York City in 1893. He married an Irish woman in Manhattan, and their son, [my father] married my mother whose maiden name was Waters. Her father was also an immigrant, from Birmingham. Consequently, I have met cousins on both sides of the family in England, and have thoroughly enjoyed my visits each year. What are the odds of someone else having Horners and Waters in their family trees? Jim Horner Lakeside Park, Kentucky On Nov 3, 2009, at 3:00 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
