Hi Roy, I too have a 'brick wall' on my LAMBERT and BRADFORD. Both reported from England. George LAMBERT b. approx 1855-60 in England came over with his parents ( don't know their names) and settled in Va. I was told they were of some nobility and had a crest and stamp, this was lost some where along the line. George was reportedly booted out of England for doing something wrong. Never could find out. George ran away with Elizabeth BRADFORD, b.? in England ? ( their sulurry maid) to California and mairried approx 1873. This is the extent of my findings so far. I have tried to get a copy of some certifacation of birth on my ggrandmother, Geroge and Elizabeth Lambert's daughter born 1877 in Kern Co., Ca. but have not been able to get any info as the birth in that time period was done at home w/mid-wives. Is there any hope in getting information on these people? Lureigne maharoni@netzero.net _______________________________________________ Why pay for something you could get for free?
