	The majority of people simply have no interest in genealogy.

	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

I've had a lot of contact from people on lines but very little from any other Blackburns :-) Emma
