Posts: Joined: 1st Jan 1970 | Thank you and you're welcome David; no we're not related and I knew nothing of your grandma's family until last night. I don't live in Essex, far from it, but have visited Halstead once ( near Braintree) a few years ago. I hope it gives you a good start now about your grandma's family and her/ your background of nearly 200 years. To add--- Queenie did indeed travel on her own to New York. At Ellis Island, their records add she was heading for 26th St. San Francisco to be with her husband, J W Turley (sic). |

I believe there was Uncle Teddy and Uncle Shirley and an Aunt Doris. My father was the youngest of fourteen children. I have a picture of Aunty Queenie with the American Emblem/Flag which she embroidered for the president. You can contact me via the POE 'Contact' facility if you are interested. I have been trying to connect for ages with other members and have loads of information and pictures.

You could contact David by clicking on his name, then click Contact so you could send a message to him. Hope you found other of the family background I mentioned of interest as well. |

I'm sure you both have so much to learn from each other and catching up and in Stella's case, also going through her family line here back to Suffolk in the early 1700's which could be expanded on even further if Stella wanted to. I'm so pleased you came across each other. |
