I am hoping to have some more pictures of the family on line in the next little while. In particular pictures of family born before 1900, plus pictures of places associated with the family.

I have placed two pictures on the Family Pictures page of the two young ladies I mentioned earlier. They are believed to be family members but so far no one can name them except for Clara's given name. Regarding the picture of Clara, because the photograph was taken by a Colchester firm, I assumed that they must have lived in Essex and some years ago now I inquired through the Essex email list to see if I could find any trace of Clara, but although I contacted some very helpful fellow researchers we could find no trace. As the photograph was given me by our American cousins and was said to be a cousin of Rosa (Leavold) Ashley, it is possible that Clara was a member of the Leavold branch of the family.

The second photograph of the girl with the violin is unknown, though I think it might be of my own older sister Renee who was 11 years older then me. If that is so then I would think it was taken at least 4 years before I was born, and that is why I cannot be sure.

Help in identifying any of these two would be appreciated.

There are presently nine past newsletters which were distributed to known family members over the past few years detailing research progress and general family news. Additional past newsletters will be added as time permits. Research is continuing on our Barnard branch.

Who Am I ?

My name is Alan Barnard and I was born and raised in Manchester, England. I started researching our Barnard Family in 1971 following the death of my parents who both died in 1970. Fortunately I was able to get enough information on them before their passing that enabled me to start my research.

Obviously Genealogy - or family history, is a major interest of mine, but I am also interested in astronomy, photography, all kinds of sports especially football (soccer), and with my wife Christine, I love to travel when we have the opportunity - and of course the money. Both Chris and I are very involved with B.C. Institute of Technology Retirees' Association. I taught for 25 years after working in the electrical industry for 26 years and eventually retired from BCIT in 1994.
