There are reports that the 200 school girls kidnapped in Nigeria by Boko Haram are to be released.

Nigeria's military says it has agreed a truce with Islamist militant group Boko Haram - and says the schoolgirls the group has abducted will be released.

I hope and pray that the reports are true

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

It would be wonderful if all the girls are released as quickly as possible but it will be a difficult time for them and their families as many will be traumatised and have probably not been well treated but abused, and possibly pregnant.

Such terrible things happening all over this sad world of ours. Children can't be children now, and more and more hardship for so many of them.
