Have you tried putting any of these names into the quick search box at the top of the page, to see if any member of Genes has these people in their tree? Kath. x

Hi I am very happy to report that the Hardy Family Bible has now been returned to a descendant of the family mentioned within it. I believe from correspondance they are over the moon to have a little piece of family history back with them once more. Never once did I think that a descendant would be traced but It took less than two weeks before I received a reply and information provided verified the family connection thus ownership. Quite a surprise. Bye Paul

That's really good to hear Paul. I wish someone would come up with something like that for my family - though I don't think any of them had enough spare cash to buy things like bibles, lol. Kath. x
