Sadly, my brother also named 'John' has gone his own way and we no longer keep in touch. His choice, not mine. These are a wonderful tribute to your family and all inspired by a single photograph. On another note, my surname is Bainbridge, a place in Yorkshire I believe. . maybe that's where I should start?Bainohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156193098088048637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-76844637001706833222009-09-06T03:40:12.134+01:002009-09-06T03:40:12.134+01:00so many tantalizing bit to uncle john's story....so many tantalizing bit to uncle john's story....least what you have.

It was rare that they kept track of the families that they left behind. Just recently we learned that my great great grandfather Burgus was one of the first set of children and that there was a remarriage with more half brothers and sisters. Great story Mr. Burnett, I need to spend time this winter catching up on your writing.L. D. https://www.blogger.com/profile/02270923121962761209noreply@blogger.com
