Subject: Hello from Rochester, NY--US

Hello Mr. Tonks, Just a note to say I liked the 'view from Heversham Head.' I came across it while looking up some ancestors from Milnthorpe and Heversham. Would you know of any Cragg family that would like to drop me a line? We are all related, as John Cragg left five families behind when he came over in the eighteen hundreds. I am sorry that I sound so rash, but this is a chance for me to find out more of the family, and I have to jump at it. If you would just pass on my email address, assuming you know any Craggs, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.
