No matter what side of my family tree I go into I seem to end up back at this place!! Anyone have any info on Windle or local history resources that I can tap into? The family were there in the mid 1800's - anyone got any idea of where I can get maps for that period of the area and perhaps details of mills/ coal mines/pits? The family name is Petterson.
