Hi all, I noticed in the Sep-Oct 1998 issue of the NEHGS newsmagazine Nexus a query for: BLANCHARD -- Seek first w., par., anc. of Thomas BLANCHARD, b. Clatford, Hampshire, England, ca. 1590; d. Charlestown, Mass., 1 May 1654. Thomas & fam. emigrated to New England ca.1639. -- Carolyn Bush, 5718 Fulton Cir., Norcross, GA 30093. Sherry or John may want to contact her to offer help or to share in any information or names of researchers her query to the New England Historic Genalogical Society may turn up. I am glad to see the increased exchange of information in the newsgroup lately. Best wishes.
