No Dennis I am not from Upholland....but g'day anyway.... :-)
Wiganworld is a wonderful place to find old friends and make new ones....I found an old school chum and we are keeping in touch by email....
I have had the greatest fun....lots of laughs and also a few tears...but all in all I am so very glad to be here... :-)

This is a great site for rekindling memories. Is there anybody on the site who lived in UpHolland in the 1950s / 1960s ?

Karen Thomas Gerrard is a well known name in Ashton, Wigan. There is even a pub named after him. Do you think it is the same man.

While researching the life of my ancestor, Dr. Thomas Gerard, who immigrated to the American Colony of Maryland in the 1600s, I came across this site. This is a beautiful site, and I hope to visit your area someday. So many of my ancestors were born and died there. Finding your site really helps me to see where they lived their lives.

Brings back lots of fond memories
