Hello, AUSTIN types! This is a first posting to a very quiet bunch. Has everyone here already found their ancestors? My people came from the Tadmarton-Swalcliffe-Shutford area of Oxfordshire back to 1600 and (I think) Tysoe, in Warwickshire, before that. If anyone connects to that area, or suspects a connection, I would like to hear from you. Yours genealogically, Ray ---------------------------------------- Raymond East, 100 Mile House, BC, Canada [email protected] ----------------------------------------
