Hello everyone
 

Hello all,

as you can do doubt guess from my userid I am a lifelong Clarets fan now living near Cologne, Germany and working in IT.

Originally from Nelson, I have joined the group in the hope of tracing ancestors and their descendants who appear to have originally been from the Oswaldtwistle and Accrington areas and also assisting others who are researching their ancestors where possible.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Paul

Good morning Paul.
The only McDonalds food outlet I've ever been in was outside Cologne station before I joined a boat for Basle.

I'm an Oxford fan myself but have a friend who follows Burnley and is in the London Clarets. I like Koln and have drunk in all the best kolsch bars there. I think my favourite is probably Malzmuller or maybe Paffgen. Excuse spellings but I'm sure you know which ones I mean

Hi Claret,
I saw the mention of Isabella (Hill) Farrington of the Pineapple on Elephant street in one of your other posts. The attached is her photo in 1953 (seated, center). On the far right is her daughter Sarah Ann. Sarah Ann's husband George Holden is on the left and the couple standing are friends. The photo was taken at the Holdens' 50th anniversary party. I have a few more photos and documents you may be interested in. Two of her sons are mentioned in the WW1 thread.

Dave, my hubby was stationed in Osnabruck at Mercer Barracks with 5th Regt R.H.A. from Feb 1954-Oct 55.

Re: Hello everyone
 

Know it well, Mercer & Imphal up Dodesheide it was Infantry & Tankies in my day. The "Gun Bunnies" where down at Roberts along with us, the Monkeys & "Wedge heads" (85-93).

Re: Hello everyone
 

I cannot see any of your threads in the Lost Friends/Family section, Claret
