Just browsing and came across this post.

I went to school with a Beaulah, and I also have a Kezia in my tree but haven't got round to researching her yet.

Hello

Don't know if this is the right forum or if this will end up as a thread to a previous subject or as a personal message (which i'm still not sure how to send).

Anyway I am trying to track down Boongie Pam.  We have many links the same both in surnames, the traveller links and in locations.

If this is Pam or someone knows how to get hold of her I would appreciate the help!!

Many thanks

I have two unusual names

and a SYNODNIA (female middle name)

Some would say my name TRALENA. was strange.
