Missing Home

I was born in Wales and lived at 3 Bailey Street until moving to Canada at age 10. All of my memories of Cwm are wonderful ones, sliding down the mountain on cardboard, wading in the river behind our house, climbing the hill to play at the park or swinging on the rope swing that was always around but we never knew where it came from. I still have family living in Cwm, my mother's sister and husband Thelma & Bob Annett. My plan is to bring 4 children back this summer (2008) and show them where I grew up. Please feel free to contact me if you have any information on my family.
Thank you
Debbie Turner
