Ian Bradshaw Norfolk England UK I recently purchased a book from the Internet Bookshop http://www.bookshop.co.uk ) Title: Bolton Bred Author: Brian Bradshaw ISBN: 0 907511 52 X to help with my research of Bradshaws in England. Brian's book is mainly concerned with the history of a particular house that his family lived in but he does include some genealogy. An item I thought may be of interest to my American cousins appeared on page 1 where he mentions that his great aunt - Amelia Hardman Bradshaw (born 1867 in Leeds, England) married one George Walker and moved to Providence, Rhode Island, U.S.A. She was one of 9 children born to Samuel Bradshaw ( born 1833, Derbyshire, England) and his wife Ann (born 1835) Hope this helps someone, Ian. [email protected]

Hello Everyone, Just passing along a few little tidbits of genalogy 'wisdom'. Michelle My family coat of arms ties at the back....is that normal? My family tree is a few branches short! All help appreciated My ancestors must be in a witness protection program! Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall! My hobby is genealogy, I raise dust bunnies as pets. How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE?? I looked into my family tree and found out I was a sap.. I'm not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged I'm searching for myself; Have you seen me ? If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help... Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem, leads to two more! It's 1999... Do you know where your-Great-G. Grandparents are? A family reunion is an effective form of birth control A family tree can wither if nobody tends it's roots A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away After 30 days, unclaimed ancestors will be adopted Am I the only person up my tree... sure seems like it Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts and a few bad apples Ever find an ancestor HANGING from the family tree? FLOOR: The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Gene-Allergy: It's a contagious disease, but I love it Genealogists are time unravelers Genealogy is like playing hide and seek: They hide... I seek! Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people "Crazy" is a relative term in my family A pack rat is hard to live with, but makes a fine ancestor I want to find ALL of them! So far I only have a few thousand I Should have asked them BEFORE they died! I think my ancestors had several "Bad heir" days I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNEflower Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards, as progress Share your knowledge, it is a way to achieve immortality Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools= ! It's an unusual family that hath neither a lady of the evening or a thief. Many a family tree needs pruning Shh! Be very, very quiet.... I'm hunting forebears. Snobs talk as if they had begotten their own ancestors! That's strange: half my ancestors are WOMEN! I'm not sick, I've just got fading genes Genealogists live in the past lane Cousins marrying cousins: Very tangled roots! Cousins marrying cousins: A non-branching family tree Alright! Everybody out of the gene pool! Always willing to share my ignorance.... Documentation...The hardest part of genealogy Genealogy: Chasing your own tale! Genealogy...will I ever find time to mow the lawn again? That's the problem with the gene pool: NO Lifeguards I researched my family tree... and apparently I don't exist! SO MANY ANCESTORS...........................SO LITTLE TIME!

Hello Everyone, For all of you researchers who have a JONAS BRADSHAW in your line, please post what you have and maybe we can help link Debbi with her ancestor. Becky, this is great! Can you post any documents or newspaper clipping that you have for your JONAS? It would be great to hear more. B.J. - Thank you so much for posting your will abstracts and the copy of the will. It's greatly appreciated. I don't know if any of you have been to the BRADSHAW list archives lately, but we've just about doubled the size of the archives and the amount of information on our ancestors. Keep up the good work and keep posting the records that you have. A lot of the documents that I have were posted by me last year, so if anyone is searching the archives you will find my postings there also. Going back to wills, etc., anyone who has a copy of one in their posession who has not posted it to the list along with the information about where a copy can be gotten, please do that if you can. There is nothing like an original document to prove or disprove a lineage link. Debbi, have you looked at the census for 1821 for the family of your JONAS? It should list the place of birth for his parents. That might help you some. That's all for now. Anne

Does anyone know if the Revoluntionary veteran Jonas Bradshaw of VA had a descendant, most likely grandson, by the same name who was born 21 May 1814 Wilson CO TN and then migrated to IL where he married Nancy W. Lee in 1836? I'm having a hard time find the parents and other ancestors of my Jonas.
