Brian Report 31 Oct 2004 19:47

Hi folks, I'm Brian Bargman, aged 68. Been married to Diane for 45 years. Two daughters in their 40's; 4 grandchildren ages 19, 16, 14 and 4. Unfortunately, although they are only 30 miles away, we have been forbidden by daughter and partner from ever seeing their little girl.....but that's another story! Both of us lived in the North London area (me in Barnet, Diane in Palmers Green) until we married in '59 when we moved away, been living in the same house in Luton since 1960. That's about it really, the ads. are over -- back to Corrie. Nite, nite all, Brian ;-))

Hi folks, my name is Bev and I live in Cadishead which is inbetween Manchester and Warrington and I am 43 years young. I have been researching the family tree for only 4 weeks and have found quite a few ancestors. I am divorced and have 4 children, 16,19,20 and 22. Just the youngest is with me now (an aspiring musician - hoping to make lots of money to buy me a big house!) Its sometimes a fight for the computer as once I am on it I cant seem to get off! I work full time in telecoms and I love science fiction, books and the countryside and also travelling. Anyone out there from my area????? Bev:)
