Hello from British Columbia, Canada

My name is Marilyn. I am so happy to find this delightful website, and already my enjoyment of the various links is enormous!  What wonderful pictures!!   Three of my grandparents came from England. I have visited once and am returning next spring (I can hardly wait, and these pictures are making me more anxious to get there!)

I have done a lot of research on Ancestry.com and I love the things I have discovered.  It has fuelled my determination to come back to Britain.  My main feeling while looking at these pictures is 'homesickness' - now how can that be, when I have never lived here?? 

Hello everyone!  To rustyruth - my mother's grandparents were born in West Bromwich, Staffs, and I have a couple family connections remaining there which have been re-established.  My dad's father, and his parents were from Knaresborough, Yorkshire and his mom from Boroughbridge, Yorks.  Her parents were from Filey and Doncaster, Yorks.  There are a few second cousins still there.

Thank you for the warm welcome.  I am excited to be on board! 

A very warm welcome to you Marilyn !

Visiting England in Spring will be an absolute delight !

Could your feeling of "homesickness" means that you may very well be in love already with this wonderful country ?

Have you planned to visit specific places related to your ancestors, maybe ?

What is sure is that POE gathers some of the finest pictures featuring England which will give you a pre-taste of your experience to come !
