Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 16 Send Message	I've got my Blackburn lines back to 1736 but would love to hear from any one who thinks they may be descended from Andrew Blackburn (1736), Thomas (1763), John (c1833) or any of their siblings. I've had a lot of contact from people on lines but very little from any other Blackburns :-) Emma

	Emma, The chances of anyone with Andrew, Thomas or John in their tree seeing this are similar to that of a big win on the lottery, you would be better to use the search tree's facility to find possible link's, Then you could try and contact them by using the " Find out more" button on the right of that page, Roy

Member Since: December 2004 Posts: 16 Send Message	Roy, Many thanks. I have done that but have had very little success. It seems some families are searching more than others (lots of links with other lines) so this was a last resort! Thanks again and will keep searching. Kind regards Emma

	The majority of people simply have no interest in genealogy.
