Many UK, US, Oz and Canadian Bartleys can trace their ancestry to the environs of Motcombe, Dorset. We'll be having a reunion in Motcombe on June 29, 2002, and all Bartleys who trace their ancestry to Motcombe or Gillingham, Dorset, England (and their friends) are cordially invited. (Also just across the Wiltshire line in E. Knoyle and Semley and Wardour Castle!) The reunion will be held in the Motcombe Village Hall and includes a light lunch, a walking tour by a local historian, and a dinner. We have lots of info to share. Motcombe is just 3 miles north of Shaftesbury. It's two hours by car from London. For more info (about the reunion or genealogical), contact me at
