[List-Cumbria] I'm back with more transcriptions!

[Andrea Fitzgerald]

Hi Petra,

Goodness, you have been busy. It's good to see you have taken time out for
yourself and your family.  Good on you, also, for working on your husband's
family tree.  As it is I mainly work on my husband's and my own family
trees but have also tried to get together some details on my
grandchildren's other forbears. As it is, my interest in Cumbria is for the
paternal line of my daughter's children, something I haven't had a chance
to go back to for a while either, but I'm saving all your emails for future
reference in case there is any mention of their lines in them.  I have
other grandchildren whose maternal lines are from Argentina, Macedonia, and
Finland, which are a lot harder to work on, partly because of the language
barrier and partly because of the dearth of records available, and this
makes me appreciate the amount of assistance and resources that are out
there for the British Isles.

Thankyou for all you do.  Hope you are recovered soon.
Take care,

Cheers,
Andrea Fitzgerald
