Re: 4th generation from original Oswaldtwistle resident

HI Mez! You never can tell. I just found English relatives via Ancestry.com that have been looking and wondering about their American relatives (us) for a lifetime. It was an amazing encounter and we had a rare opportunity to invite and meet them at my Mom's 80th birthday this past summer. It was a family reunion at the same time, so they met the entire family. It was such an event, and the incredible details of how our families are linked enticed an editor from the BBC magazine "Who Do You Think You Are" to publish my English cousin's article in the "Letters" section (Dec 2010). I will soon be meeting the rest of my English side of my family and am very excited.
