LOL Annie!!! all I ever get are boring circulars from holidays companies and amazon!! Fuzzy x

I followed Heather's advice and googled Horme, my mother's maiden name. Now everytime I open my hot mail I get at least two messages from Horny housewives who would like to meet me.

Hi Heather, Of course you deserve such praise, wouldn't have thought of the googling if you hadn't mentioned it! Drake, very strange eh?!! Not worked out where that comes from, his mothers maiden name was Jones, so cant be that!! Merry noticed that there were lots of Lindos in the carribean...OOh er!! Will try your suggestion of googling portuguese colonies and Lindo and see what comes up. Have looked on the national archives for Lindos, but none that seem to be mine have come up. Love you even more now for your modesty. Glad you back have missed your much needed humour on the boards Fuzzy x

Wow, Im totally overwhelmed and a bit guilty - I dont deserve any such praise. As you can see, some of the REAL bright sparks found lots of info for you and they are also the ones who always help me. Im really pleased for you though. That sounds really interesting - Portugese eh? There must be some interesting stuff on A2A for you. Have you worked out where the Drake bit comes from too? Wonderful stuff. Carry on googling - Id have a go for Portugese Colonies, Lindo - just to see if anything comes up.

Thanks for that christine, will investigate!! Fuzzy x

LOL Nell!! Can we share her??!! I tried it at the beginning but never had any luck so haven't bothered since.....Have now gone back to the beginning of my family group records sheets and am working my way through them googling the lot!! Fuzzy x

There are quite a lot of LINDO records on National Archives. Don't know if this relates to your Thomas: Online Document PROB 11/1984 Will of Thomas Lindo , Carpenter of No 3 Gloucester Place Walworth Common, Surrey Date: 1843. Christine

I loved Heather first! And my immediate response to most queries on these boards is 'have you tried googling?'!! nell

Nudging for the lovely Heather now that she has returned, sorry you have lost your positive thinking Heather, hope this changes your mind!! Fuzzy x

Wow, Deb that is so cool!! You dont expect to find something like that when you start building a tree eh? I knew about the portuguese connection, but the west indies thing I have Merry to thank for. Lord knows where that will lead!! fuzzy x

Oh Fuzzy!! That's two of us that could have West Indies ancestry!!! Mine could have been a slave!! Deb

Oh My!!! Think West indies was once a portuguese colony, THAT should keep me entertained for a while eh?!! Thanks for that Merry. Fuzzy x

On TNA there's lots of to-ing and fro-ing (sp?) to the West Indies by people called Lindo.....also some baps on the IGI in Barbados! Merry

Merry, In the words of Homer Simpson DOH!! I cant even blame the wine this early in the day!! apparently Lindo is portuguese......just great! Fuzzy x

Sorry Fuzzy.......I meant it to read like this.............You said there was no baptism for your chap, to which I replied, So who is number 2 then??? Sort of rhetorical question thingy! Merry

Yes you right Merry, Louisa does not belong to me. Shame Heather hasn't got a computer running at the mo, thought I hadn't seen her on the boards lately. memo to self must thank her when she appears again. I will remember tip you gave me. Fuzzy x

Thanks to you too Jim, Wow I have my work cut out looking through that little lot, Will be a pleasure to actively work on the tree. Fuzzy x Merry, No 2 William Drake Lindo is my.....dont know how many g's grandfather. Is that what you mean? He married Elizabeth Cock (now you well enough to know that you tittered!!) Fuzzy xx

Swift tip......If you have someone with an unusual name, it's a goodidea to enter it in full on the All Resources page of Family Search and then tick the box for exact match (obviously this won't pick up if the spelling is wrong!!) Merry

Sometimes parents seem to have had their children ''done'' (as distinct from ''Baptised'') in job lots! Christine

Louisa Lindoe must be a red herring! (too early!) Merry
