Hi All, Well, it looks like the Herts lot are either:- a) Not interested in Genealogy b) Hate computers or c) Have a life!!!!! Still, they don't know what they are missing, do they? Nes

Lived in Bushey and Watford as a child. Spent a few years in Harrow before moving to Hemel, where I still live. Thought of moving a few times but oh the stress of it all. Nes

We lived in Harrow Weald for four years before moving to Kent. My husband has family in Hemel and Berkhamsted, my brother who lived in Abbots Langley has now gone to Devon and my father is in Barnet, so we visit Herts fairly often as you can imagine!
