I'm doing research for a recently reconciled school friend who lives in NZ - I live in Cyprus. Her parents, grandparents and great grandparents were all born, raised their families, and died in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancs. (Got back to 1811 so far) Pam |

Hubby starting with him there are 10 generations from Devon within a 30 mile Radius (thats a guess cos the maps in the car in the garage so can't check) We've ruined it as our children are either sussex born or warwickshire |
