I was looking for A.A. the other day and realized he wasn't on WikiTree yet. Many of you may recognize that name as the author of the Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin stories. I have created a profile for him and traced his family a good bit, but have yet to connect him in to the main tree. I didn't realize Milne was such a popular name in the UK! If any of you more experienced in research in Scotland, Jamaica, and England would like to help get him hooked into our tree, I'd sure appreciate it. Most of the profiles are open, all maybe, actually, so just dig in and hop to it.

"It's Pooh," said Christopher Robin excitedly...
"Possibly," said Eeyore.
"And Piglet!" said Christopher Robin excitedly.
"Probably," said Eeyore, "What we want is a Trained Bloodhound."

Nice, Michael :D
I found Jane Garland who married George Barrett was mother to Harriet Newell Milne, but I am far from certain that I have attached her to the right George. So I used the funny new uncertain radio buttons.  But if anybody would like to correct a possible error, that would be great.
That connection seems to be well supported. I'm taking a look at George again, since he's a brick wall. Some have speculated a connection to the Barrett's of Jamaica,  but I haven't been able to find his parents,  yet!
