Putting on the style....

Some genealogy today.   This is Jen Wilson, who became Jen Broadfoot.   Her husband and two sons all worked in the pits in Upper Nithsdale.   We would pay her visits when I was a boy.   She was a very loud lady, with a heart of gold.  She is my first cousin, twice removed..... and here is how!
