- I hope there will soon be folks whose interests are simlar to mine. The possibilities are exciting! Regards, Eileen

- Hi Lesley, Thanks for the invitation - the Norfolk Ancestor group could be rewarding. My Norfolk names are Allman (GY & Norwich, my father's name), Langley (GY & Gorleston), Read, Hazell & Greenwood. Those are the direct line names, but of course there are many others through marriage of siblings.
I have considerable knowledge of the Allmans in Norfolk and Suffolk, and of C18 Greenwood, which might be of help to someone.
Regards, Eileen
