Hello

[lizanne]

Hi I've just found the forum.It looks very interesting.
At present I am living in Oldham Lancs.
I have been researching my family tree for about 3 years on and off in both Scotland and England. However the Irish side of my family has hit a major brick wall though.
I look forward to meeting you all on the forum and I am willing to help anyone that I can with look ups etc.

Hi Lizanne,
As prefab kid has said welcome to the FHUK forums,
You say you are living in Oldham, that brings back memories for me as I used to live there myself at one time, I have fond memories of the place your brickwalls on your irish connection, just post them in the irish forum with as much info as you do have and we will see if we can help.
Enjoy your research and enjoy the FHUK forums
Best regards StericoO0

Thanks for the welcomes.
I'm still exploring the site , but I'll soon get around to doing a few postings.
Sterico I bet you wouldn't recognize Oldham now so much has changed recently.
I notice that you are also researching Brooks
