well, in that case, I may take a chocolate chip cookie!!  You guys are really nice and seem very helpful already.  I will write down what I do have and then I will post it so I can get a little more information.  It really is nice seeing where you come from.  I know that my mother's side of the family is German.  How far back, that I do not know.  I was shocked to see that our family went back this far before they came to the United States (or the new land at that time).  I may just have to take it one side of the family at a time!!

Hello Melanie and a warm welcome from me also.  You will get incredible help on RootsChat from very friendly people, so just sort out the questions you want to ask and start posting.  I live in Lancashire, right on the border with West Yorkshire, with a camera always at the ready and just on my second cup of coffee :D

Hello Melanie,
This is my first post on this site also. I have been looking for my family since 04. I have found quite a few in Scotland. My G Grandmother had an extensive post  card collection. It is just like being with my great
aunts and grandmother when I read them.
I am trying to find my great aunt and her family. They are from Bradford they had a
confectioner shop in there home at 554 Manchester Rd. there name was Edward and Agnes Driver. Daughters Agnes Isabel,Nellie Louisa,Laura Annie and Ethel Agnes she worked for the Wilson and Sons store on Market St. downtown. I am trying to find out where they are buried. They were methodist and lived at the 554 Manchester address  at
least until after my Great grandmother died in
June 1912 and the 1911 census.   Any help would be appriciated. I don't know where to look next.
Thanks Gala Girl
