Hi John, I have seen you on my screen a couple of times in reply to some items that were brought out on Puget Sound Roots (PSR), the gen. voice of our NW portion of the U.S. I am interested in knowing the following: 1. I need enlightenment on what Greater London means more specifically. London within the ancient Wall? The main part of London, whatever that might be? Pardon my ignorance but I would like to know more. And is Lewisham a section of it - I would appreciate knowing more. 2. Are you anywhere near the old Guildhall? I am particularly interested in the Guildhall area and more specifically slightly East of it, as I recall, namely Coleman Street - a very short street that has existed for centuries, not unusual for London. 3. Are you interested in genealogy, and if so perhaps you could mention some surnames that you have been able to trace among them. 4. My reason for asking, is that I have ties to London ancestry that I discovered in 1983, though my wife and I visited London in 1971 on a trip to Europe on our own, not on a tour of any kind - during the 6 weeks in Europe, we saw what we wanted to and was not confined by a tour group, but on our own. On one occasion, we visited Kensington Palace Museum. Among the myriad displays of English History, was the panorama displays of London as a small village, then on through its historical stages of development to the Great London fire. The panorama of that fire was most intriguing in it s depiction of that event in London history. 5. I will await your reply, and make further comments, if appropriate, at a later date. Thank you for your information, Sincerely, Carroll (male) of Snohomish, WA. 30 miles NE of Seattle. * * * 30 * * * ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
