Hi Its a shame these items arent returned to the rightful owners. I have 3 prayer books that i collected years ago amongst other things, before i was doing the family tree thing, now i feel they should go to the family that originally owned them as they do have the names written in them. shall list them tomorrow. Sharmala. |
