Kay

Yes I have this info.

 

I am sorry you have gone  over old ground.

 

I have just about finalised organising a family reunion (my dad's side). It has taken several months to do. As well as doing that ,the last month I had an operation on both legs.I am still laid up with one leg being infected & I am off work yet another week.

I have had a busy 12 months with home renovations.

I am hoping now I can get stuck back into my family history.

My main objective is to find my living relatives.

 

I live in Canberra, Australia.

 

Thanking you in advance.

Kind regards

Maggie (Balfour)

I too have been in hospital twice this month & now recovering at home. I still have a problem with my leg & off to the doctor again today.

I hope you are recovering better than I.

 

Since being off work for nearly5 weeks I have watched several DVD's, read 9 books,& have now just got back into doing my family research as I have set up my husbands laptop in the lounge room.My computer is upstairs.I can't climb the stairs yet.

 

I have just  now replied to Kay's emails (dated Nov)but somehow they have all bounced back.Is Kay still a researcher for English Irish?

 

I have been in the middle of BIG home renovations over the past 12 months,organising a family reunion(Mauritius/S Africa), as well as a trip for 2 months across Australia.

I was waiting for an email from the team, but what I should have done was go on the English Irish web site to check for an answer to my email & then it went out of my mind due to all thigs happening.

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Maggie Sorry to here that.Kay is only doing certain ones now due to Work.So if she does not answer its because of that.

Thanks for your message it will take me a couple of weeks to get myself sorted .But hopefully get back into things.

Hopefully next break i get i will try and find out about your Jean Balfour.

Mike
