As you can see, I have not yet done much research on the Jackson connection, but I know that a book has been written called "Jacksons of Hamilton" and that it relates directly to my Jacksons. I have a copy of this book and have met the author who is very helpfull and friendly. Please let me know if you think there may be a connection between our families. Cheers Catherine Langdon I am listing my Tasmanian surnames in the hope of finding a "cousin" or two.
