Cousins, this was sent to me personally, but I think the list should see, and perhaps respond. -- Valorie -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: ROOTSWEB'S COMMON-SENSE ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 12:22:37 +0100 From: STUART WALLACE <sdwallace@cwcom.net> Reply-To: m0107d00@cwcom.net Organization: IANS BAKERY LTD To: valoriez@aa.net References: <3768A985.6B309141@aa.net> Dear Valorie, I've been a list member for a few weeks and I see that most people are looking for basingers and similar names in America, as an Englishman who's g,grandmother was aMaria Basinger in the 1880's I was interested to see that it is perceived that all basingers arrived from central europe. However I have come across basingers in Scotland 1680's Ireland 1700 and a small group in London 1800 plus a few other groups in various counties of England. It was always believed that my g,grandmother came from Irish Stock. I started looking because I thought that I might have an American cousin called KIM?? I can but hope. regards Stuart wallace
