Was it usual for someone called Hannah to be called Ann instead? And should they have put their real name on the census instead of their chosen nickname? many thanks and good luck to all researching their trees Michele Cantwell _________________________________________________________________ Play and win great prizes with Live Search and Kung Fu Panda http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719966/direct/01/ ************************************** You can contact the Isle of Wight List Administrator by emailing: [email protected] ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the messageSend instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com _________________________________________________________________ Find the best and worst places on the planet http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/101719807/direct/01/
