Hi Tony :) Yes, we ARE lovely, aren't we? ;D I think Alan's tied up at Wimbledon this week from memory, so I'm going to jump in here since I'm online and you've just posted. If you can give us some more details about your Grandmother, I'm sure you'll find you're connected to someone on the list. I'm from the Tasmanian Nibbs line so I'm not, but perhaps Don is? Sorry Don, I can't remember where all your family come from (having a blonde week) but you can go take a look at Don's site Tony ... http://knibbs.family.users.btopenworld.com/index.htm ... that's a good place to start anyway! :D I'm sure someone else will contact you if they have Betsy in their tree, and welcome to the family!! :D Take care, Rob.

I am wondering if I can tie in with existing work ....... My Mother's mother was Betty (Elizabeth) Knibb, born 1901 in Brownhills, Staffs. I have the exact date, and her full name. As it's such an unusual name, I wondered if it might be easy to race, but haven't researched this branch of my family. She was an exceptional person. Christened a Baptist, she moved to Leigh, lancs, converted to Catholicism to marry my grandad. Many people said she was one of the kindest people they knew - a kind of unpaid community worker. Best wishes, Tony Mitchell. ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
