Hi everyone - my name is Annette and I in Western Australia, approx 200 mies south of the capital, Perth. I have been researching my family history for 10 years and still have lots and lots of gaps to fill in. I will be posting information on the Brick Wall and Surname Search boards, so please, feel free to have a look.

The main surnames I am researching are: POLAND, STRANG, FARLEY, CHEVERIL, SOPP, WATSON, BROWN, ABBOTT, SANDERSON, EDWARDS.

The main areas I should be researching are: DEVON, WILTSHIRE, WORCESTERSHIRE ... as far as I know.

I hope to solve some of my mysteries, and perhaps help others solve theirs as well. I am also looking forward to making new friends as well.

Annette
