151 days to go until I jet off to the UK!
It's a bit chilly today in Brisbane, I'm wondering how I'll cope with their Autumn weather!
As I've been doing my family research I've found that many of my ancestors come from the Cumberland region (the north of england, not far from the Scottish border). Here are some of the towns relevant to own history, if I can make the time I'll be visiting them. :)
(HINT! Click on each town and it will take you to the relevant websites!)
Wigton
Simonburn
Aspatria
Exciting!!!!!!!

Hi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding a comment to my blog.
Hope you have a wonderful trip to the UK in September, I think you are very brave to go on your own.
Your blog looks really good.
I can see from the graphic Nikki how enthusiastic you are about your forthcoming holiday to the U.K. Finding you have ancestry in the north will make your holiday so much more meaningful. Are you hoping to catch up with some of your new relatives ?
ReplyDeleteThanks Top Cat! (love your nick!)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go, can you tell?!
Thanks P & P! Yes I plan to catch up with one of the new reles! She still lives in the same area as our ancestors and has invited me to visit.
