OH ! i HAVE SO MANY !
tHE OTHER PERSON FOUND IT SOMEWHERE WITHIN SECONDS OF POSTING. IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN SEARCH THINGS PEOPLE HAVE POSTED FOR A SPECIFIC NAME? IM SURE I HAVE BEFORE- BUT IT LOOKS DIFFERENT ON HERE NOW THAN IT USED TO AND YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO SELECT A SURNAME TO SEARCH TOO.

THE THREAD WAS OVER TWO YEARS AGO :-S

New thread today had an accidental duplicate and they have now both been deleted,
as I pointed out 2 previous related threads.

To find previous postingsI went to Tools - selected Advanced Search and then entered Devine under keywords and fairlyfatfairy under author and Find Ancestors as the Board to look under. Didn't look under other boards so there may be more
