Hi folks, I'm Brian Bargman, aged 68. Been married to Diane for 45 years. Two daughters in their 40's; 4 grandchildren ages 19, 16, 14 and 4. Unfortunately, although they are only 30 miles away, we have been forbidden by daughter and partner from ever seeing their little girl.....but that's another story! Both of us lived in the North London area (me in Barnet, Diane in Palmers Green) until we married in '59 when we moved away, been living in the same house in Luton since 1960. That's about it really, the ads. are over -- back to Corrie. Nite, nite all, Brian ;-)) |

Hi one and all, My name is Aileen and am 46-well until the 12th when I'm 47. Have been married to Steve who is a theatre practitioner at the London Hospital for 26 years and have a son Paul who is 17. We live in East Ham, London We also have an unofficially adopted daughter who is in her late 20s and became part of our family about 6 years ago. She has our surname and calls us 'mum and dad' and I suppose you could say that we 'bridged a huge gap' for her when she needed it. I am a housewife who also helps a friend in his design business from time to time and got hooked up to this family tree milarky a year ago..and lovin it! Aileenx |

Hi folks, my name is Bev and I live in Cadishead which is inbetween Manchester and Warrington and I am 43 years young. I have been researching the family tree for only 4 weeks and have found quite a few ancestors. I am divorced and have 4 children, 16,19,20 and 22. Just the youngest is with me now (an aspiring musician - hoping to make lots of money to buy me a big house!) Its sometimes a fight for the computer as once I am on it I cant seem to get off! I work full time in telecoms and I love science fiction, books and the countryside and also travelling. Anyone out there from my area????? Bev:) |
