[Afamilyatwar-list] Harry and Celia

[Vibeke Kold]

Hi everybody

The mails about Harry and Celia make me wonder if any of you have ever
made a family tree of all the Ashtons and their relatives? I would love
to do that if I had the time for it. I suppose John F. has one stocked
some where in his marvelous mind.
