USA 2003 holiday


In the late 1800's and early 1900's several member's of Liz's family emigrated to the States. There is now a fairly big contingent of cousins, second cousins and other relatives living there. Many of them settled in California and in the last couple of days of our holiday we were invited to stay with Robin and Madelaine Heal, and got the chance to meet a some members of this extended clan. We had a great time and below are some of the pictures that we took. Hopefully I have put the correct names to the correct faces.


"This is Isabel on the right. She is the daughter of Meg who was one of Liz's Granny's sisters who emigrated to the States over 100 years ago. The other girl is Gordon's lady friend, Mary"

"Isabel's brother Charlie."

"Robil Heal, Isabel's son and one of our hosts. He built the house himself."

"The lady on the right is Madeleine, Rob's wife. The other lady is Rob's sister Margaret."

"Margaret with her husband Kevin (Kelly) and their children Darcy and Brianna."

"Gordon on the left, another of Isabel's brothers along with Art Bliss who is the son of another of the sisters (Molly) who originally emigrated to the States."

"Isabel's granddaughter, Heather along with brother Daniel on the right and partner Mike Burns on the left."

"Robin and Madeleine's youngest son, Ryan with Heather and Daniel."

"Robin and Madelein's oldest son, Adam."

"Completing the family, Robin and Madeleine's doggies."
