Bio
I truly appreciate all the help that I have been receiving from all those who have been searching for my relatives. I have special thanks for the numerous people connected to Find a Grave who have diligently gone out, and invested their time, energy, and money to honor my many photo requests. Some of these researchers fall into an extremely honorable category of having driven for over four hours, trudged through the snow, and crossed over into a different country! Now I seem to be connected to everyone. Indeed, my ancestry is American, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Scottish, Swedish, Ukrainian, Welsh, and others.

I am searching for my family's castle in Birmingham, England.
The story about it is so amazing that I can't even believe it myself. Once I am able to locate the castle, a family reunion will very likely follow. After that I hope to find a few knowledgeable people to help me produce a movie about it. The famous author Charles Dickens is very involved in the middle of this story. The story of how we got the castle involves King George III, Rear Admiral Nelson, a rector of a church, and the whole English fleet. As near as I can figure, it involves an untold piece of English history. Details on request. Thanks very much in advance for any and all of your help!
Here is how my family connects to the author Charles Dickens
my great grandaunt Mary Price married a grandson of Charles Dickens named Ballentine Dickens.
The correct spelling is not known to me.
At one time my family thought that his name was Valentine Dickens.
Mom owned a photo of Charles Dickens sitting between my great grandmother Anna Hether "Annie "Price
& her sister Mary Price (Dickens) they were sitting in the front row of 100 people on folding chairs in the courtyard of a castle called The Ruck'O Bricks or The Ruck Of Bricks which is an L shaped all red brick building with a flat all white membrane roof and has a tall guard tower that is beside a wide black wrought iron swing gate.
