The Forum website has enabled the descendants of Burradon families to renew their connection to the village. Barbara Yanico's family emigrated to America 130 years ago to start a new life and their story of their journey and an account of their new life has been retold on the Forum website. There is a further article on the website regarding John Wilson's involvement in the foundation of United Mineworkers of America's Union in 1890 which is a fascinating article and is a tribute to the memory of the miners who perished in the Burradon Colliery Disaster of 2nd March 1860.
