It's just been mentioned to me by a relative that she had heard there was an opera singer somewhere in our family tree. Seems highly unlikely if you hear me sing, but does anyone know if there is a web site re this subject, as there apparently is for actors. Di. |

Eleanor, I don't really have any idea. Pre 1900 I should imagine. A first cousin who I've just found after 50+ years mentioned an Irish connection, which I'd heard before and an opera singer, which I hadn't, but no name or time period was mentioned. He/she could be a Coleman or an Attfield or who knows, since they could be a descendant of a female rellie!! Just thought I'd have a look for the names I do know, if I can find anywhere to look. I've been given one idea so I'll try that. If you find any more sites please pass them on. Good luck in your search. Di. |

Di There are quite a lot of opera sites, this one lists names and there is one Eva Gardner Coleman - sang at the Maine Music Festival. There are also some photographs. Looks like you could spend quite a lot of time searching this site. www(.)geocities(.)com/Vienna/Strasse/3468 |

Thanks Kathleen. I'll try that one too. I was thinking maybe this relative had a stage name, eg Caruso??? |

Hi Di! So we're not related then!!! Our rellie is still very much current and living in Australia! I really hope you have luck tracking yours down! That site sounds promising, so happy hunting! Eleanor xx |
