First off, through Genes Reunited, I found a second cousin (and her large family) from Yorkshire! It was/is very exciting

. However, I found one of her posts especially interesting/humorous:
I live in Barnoldswick (one of those places that was always in Yorkshire until the government changed the boundaries and put us into Lancashire!! Doesn't go down well around here i can tell you!! I was born in Yorkshire and made sure my kids were!)( I'm about 17 miles from Accrington (I used to work there until a few years ago!)
How can a country as old as England change it's counties boundaries, especially when it's between Lancashire and Yorkshire? This had to create a bit of furor on both side eh? Does this happen "often?"
I've protective my dear cousin's name in case she decides to join up with Accyweb

. It has been an absolute delight getting information from that side of the family. Wouldn't it be extra cool if some of my Accy family actually knew some of them?
