Canada / karen.m
« on: Saturday 02 August 08 20:55 BST (UK)  »
i would like to say a big thank you to karen m, for all the time she has spent helping me to try and sort out some ancesters, who were home children, it would have been impossible for me to have found the information i now have without karen, these ancesters of mine were sent to canada early 1900s, i have not been able to do much myself as i have been very ill in hospital, so a great big thank you to karen, who has carried on researching for me while i was in hospital,

                                karen your a star
