Does it run in the family

#1 Post by EagerNoSkill »

My grandmothers (dad side) had a older brother called BOYCE ROBERTS, he married IVAA and they had a son called Aleks.

They used to all shoot Bisley rifle in Kenya from the 1930 to 1960's

Some pictures .. and it seems it runs in the family - but boy I have a long way to go!!
