Hi! I'm a descendant of William Bond, b 1754, Plymouth, Devonshire, England, immigrated to (Maine) 1786. Thanks to some active family genealogists, I have a well documented family history, but for a University course I am taking I need two things for an assignment due first thing Monday morning: -- the derivation of the Bond surname -- variant spellings of the name I'd appreciate any personal responses or direction to the list FAQ, if there is one. Thanks, Fran Kosinski
