Hi Debbie
I hope that you visit this board from time to time and will see this long thread of messages resulting from your 2002 message.
Recently, I was looking through some old photos passed down from my Croit e Caley Kneens, and I noticed that on the back of a photo of Richard Costain 1839-1902, your g grandmother Margaret Costain nee Kneen 1843-1914 had written a message. I don't know about you, but I do like to see the handwriting of my ancestors. If you're interested in seeing it, you can contact me via my genealogy email address:
faircork-tree (at) yahoo.co.uk, replacing (at) by @ and closing gaps.
It would be nice to exchange Kneen (of Croit e Caley) and Kermode (of Ballafesson / Surby ) family history.
