Title: Bretton, Flintshire
Post by: ricko on Tuesday 22 February 11 17:51 GMT (UK)

Hi Everybody,

I am researching a complete history of the village of Bretton in Flintshire (I used to live there).

If anyone has any family history input that they can share with me I would be very grateful.

Many thanks

Ricko
