An American woman is tracing her long, lost Boltonian heritage and she needs your help.
Being around an hour's drive from Bolton, you wouldn't describe Lancaster as being nearby.
However, compared to Lancaster, Ohio, where Diana Rolland is from, it feels positively point-blank.
The 75-year-old has been tracing her family lineage, with her great-grandmother, Charlotte Alice Adamson, having emigrated to the United States from Bolton in the 1800s.
Ms Rolland, whose family were the Adamsons when they left Bolton, is now looking to find long, lost members of her family in the town.
She said: "My grandfather, we grew up in his house, that was the house built by his mother and father - she came from Bolton.
"I was working on a family tree and Bolton kept coming up and coming up. I went on the web to see if I could see anything about it and was interested by the architecture and history of it.
"I was interested by Bolton, I watched about Fred Dibnah, it just inspired something in me, I wondered what it was like to live there back then.
"That is part of it too, with kids coming up nowadays, I wanted to pass on the history to them."
Ms Rolland continued: "I do know some of it. I was trying to see if any other relatives are out there and see what information they could get.
"A lot worked in the cotton and spinning industry. They had a document that said one of the ladies was a spinster, I thought 'look at that, she was 21 and they called her a spinster'.
"But it turns out that is what they called a spinner of cotton."
She added: "There was an indenture paper written in 1845 for my great-great-grandfather to learn how to become a joiner.
"He was indentured to be a joiner for five years and that whole history of it interested me, with the flowery language they used."
With Charlotte Alice Adamson having emigrated in the 1800s, her parents, Edward Adamson and Alice Hornby, stayed in Bolton.
Diana continued: "I think it would be great for some of our kids to get in touch with relatives from Bolton, or its surroundings, that they have never met or heard of.
"There is very little one can hold onto these days, but these stories will pass through life times."
