Have a wonderful trip, Jim. I'm jealous you get to do this. I hope you find lots of information that you need and maybe even a willing?DNA donor. Best of luck to you.

Hello, everyone,
?
The community chorus in which I sing has a concert tour to Ireland this month.? So I planned a few days in England to work on genealogy, primarily in county record offices.? But if anyone would be nearby and interested in meeting for dinner, I love to meet my relatives.
?
Wednesday early morning, I arrive in Heathrow and proceed as quickly as I can to? Hertford to look for something on another family line.? After they close, I¡¯ll take the train back to King¡¯s Cross to transfer to Marylebone for a train out to Aylesbury, where I have a hotel reserved.? But I will have a little time for dinner along the way, if someone is near there.
?
Thursday I spend at the Buckinghamshire Archives, and then head by train to Lancashire County, probably to the archives in Preston on Friday, unless someone knows of a good library or other place I should look instead.
I will spend Friday night in that area, or possibly Manchester, and take the train back to London Saturday morning, as I have a 2:00 flight from Heathrow to Shannon.
If anyone is near that part of London on Wednesday night, Aylesbury Thursday, or Lancashire on Friday evenings.? Let me take you to dinner.
?
I will have a FTDNA testing kit with me, hoping to find a male Liptrot willing to be tested to see if he fits in this group.? Does anyone know a Liptrot ¨C male ¨C with reasonable expectation of a ¡°clean¡± genealogical descent from the Lancashire Liptrots and ¡°Mr. S6881¡±?
