Hello all I'm researching the above family for my sister in law. She is gathering information to share with anyone else interested in these families. I would also love to hear anything about the origin of the name. I'm leaving Melbourne, Australia and will have to unsubscribe from the List until late October 1999 when I settle down in a new part of the world. I will be travelling until then. However, I'd love to hear from anybody by private e-mail. I'll access these, and reply, from libraries during my travels. My grateful thanks to the Listowner and all the people with whom I've had contact. In fact, to everyone. Best wishes, Ron Jones ronjones@bigpond.com
