Frederick & Lillian Bland

[amanda jane]

Hello To All... I am trying to find out where i come from... My great grandfather and grandmother were Frederick and Lillian Bland and they lived in the Attleborough Area of Norfolk or so i think as my nanny , there daughter ( a twin) lived there for as long as the day i was born 43 yrs ago...I belive them to be of Romany decent from all indication so far...I am the 7th to be born direct from Frederick and whether this has anything in the fact that my gifts have been awoken by a dream sent by nanny... have been a healer for almost 7 years now and have always had an 'intuitive' sense...but since the birth of my grandson may 1st this year things are really quickening up in a sense... the reason im sending this message out is because i have no one this side to guide me or show me who i am to become... i believe that my grandson is of the light also and so i would love to be able guide him in years to come...as i feel this such an important aspect of whom we are and should not be lost... many thousands of wishes, Amanda Jane
