April: The Houghton family I've researched is located in Donnegal Ireland, Malin Head and although I have some leads back to the early 1900's, I haven't received information that anyone went to that part of the UK. There are a few of members of my grandmother's family that emigrated to Manchester in the 1940's onward. Perhaps a family history center would be a good contact, although it does take the fun out it...good luck Best Regards chris >From: HOUGHTON-D-request@rootsweb.com >Reply-To: HOUGHTON-L@rootsweb.com >To: HOUGHTON-D@rootsweb.com >Subject: HOUGHTON-D Digest V05 #1 >Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2005 10:00:24 -0700 > >Content-Type: text/plain > >HOUGHTON-D Digest Volume 05 : Issue 1 > >Today's Topics: > #1 Houghton's in Lancashire, England [April Harrison ><adh660@utah-inter.] > >Administrivia: >To unsubscribe from HOUGHTON-D, send a message to > > HOUGHTON-D-request@rootsweb.com > >that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > >and no other text.
