Greetings to each of u. Have just joined the SURNAMES list and thought i"d post a few of the names I'm nterested in. I've been involved with genealogy for about 14 years now and in particular the last 7 working on one branch of the tree. Names I'm interested in are 1. on my paternal grandmother's line: - JURD and those associated with it like WALTERS, WALKER, BAILEY, STERNBECK, WOODBURY, THOMPSON. DEAN, 2. on my mother's line: TOMLINS, SIMON, DEER 3. on my paternal grandfather's line: STEWART I have done most on the JURD family and todate have some 10,600+ descedants of DANIEL & ELIZABETH JURD nee DOUGLAS. Elizabeth is the daughter of William DOUGLAS & Mary GROVES who came courtesy of His Majesty via the First Fleet. Thanks for your welcome.
