Re: Placename Kintum

I wonder... I was going to print out that e-book page, but the thing didn't want to co-operate. And I'll mention both possibilities in my text. Also, I'm going to do some googling and see if I can connect any of those places with the Knowles family. If anyone has a suggestion... that'll be welcome t...

Re: Across the Northsea

Thank you, Jo!

I was looking for an English forum so I could put a question... and this one came across pretty friendly.
I'll enjoy browsing in here.

Across the Northsea

Hi all, New here... from across the Northsea, being Dutch. I joined this forum to be able to ask a question or two (and to read up on English genealogical activities, always interesting).
