Dear Bruce,
I just want to thank you as I recieved an E-mail from a Brereton
in Ireland. I know from his information that his father and myself
are first cousins. That information sent me searching for more information
and I am so very pleased to discover the names of Aunts that I didn't
even know about - although they have mostly passed on - I am excited
at discovering some relatives and hope they will continue to exchange
family history.
Thanks again.
Frances Grey (nee Brereton)
