We'd welcome contact from any other Comlays out there on the web. Given the unusual nature of the name, the chances are we're related in some way. Any fabulously wealthy and hitherto unknown close relatives will be particularly warmly welcomed.
We've been visiting France for 25 years now, and still it holds pleasant surprises... and a public transport system that works... and a road system that shows what can be done with thought... and wine...and cheese... Can somebody please remind me why I still live in the UK?

The lack of existence of anything here either implies that we have no lives, or that the content has been supressed by the editorial panel. As the reluctant family geek*, and oft persecuted scientist, I confess to deriving a certain level of pleasure from maintaining this little e-scrapbook. The historians & linguists in the family, however, would venture that it's a rather sad activity which doesn't warrant serious consideration. As with most things in Comlay family life, this site is - therefore - my fault! Dan's Birthday - 2004 The 1901 census
