Hi LIz - i was in contact with someone on the Toop line i was just looking through my paperwork to see who it was!

JaneyCanuck Report 12 Sep 2010 01:12

A whole load of people have Cyril in their trees. Are they all known to you?

I was going to say Toop is a fairly unusual name -- but then I searched the Cdn phone book on line and saw not so. The reason was that one of my BFFs is a Toop, so if Cyril happened to make it west of Toronto, where they aren't so common, he might be your cousin. ;) (And boy, are there interesting stories in that family!)


(Why have Lindsey and Liz posted that huge list of unrelated irrelevant people boarding in the same place as Winifred??)
