Hi All I have one free email addresses you can get that I use just for Rootsweb mailing lists and no other purpose. This is very useful as it keeps all mailing list postings separate from my personal email and facebook etc. Mike in Droitwich Charani wrote: > If anyone does use any of the social media sites, please do NOT give > them access to your entire address book, especially if it contains > mailing list and commerical company addresses as well as personal ones. >

The BEACHAMs you mention are in the right time-frame for contemporaries of Peter's parents, who are also the parents of my 3GGP, James and Sarah[TAYLOR], but I need to do some more work on this line, as I haven't any firm info about them I just know they also had George and Charlotte. Although I have no p/o/b for them, they raised their families in Chew Magna and Stanton Drew.

Hello Joy, No help with Ancestry but - your John BEACHAM - any ideas where he was born? Husband's 4 x great grandmother was an Elizabeth BEACHUM born about 1754 from Winscombe - too early to be directly connected. I have BEACHAMS from Congresbury & Wick St Lawrence in Axbridge Workhouse - Harriet BEACHAM d/o George & Elizabeth was christened in Congresbury in 1814. In 1851 there is a John BEACHAM in Bristol who was born in Chew Magna in about 1817 I've got a christening of what looks like this John BEACHAM 19th Oct 1817 at Chew Magna s/o Peter & Hester Any good?

Borrowed from another list... Edna - Ottawa "In light of the appalling floods in Queensland the Australian Society of Archivists and Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia (the two peak bodies in Australia and New Zealand) have issued a joint statement, which, if you scroll down a little lists numerous authoritative sites for not only how to recover from disasters such as floods and fires, but also advice on how to prepare your collections of in advance of them. These could be of general interest to anyone with valuable collections of documents, photos, etc. Best wishes to all our friends in Queensland as they enter into the heartbreaking phase of discovering what they have lost now that the water is receding, and those in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania who are now facing the onslaught of new floods." http://www.archivists.org.au/sb/modules/news/attachments/27/JointDisasterStatementv01_20110113.pdf

I am trying to trace a living person, Emma Blackburn nee Hamilton Bruce. Have tried 192.com but the phone number there she moved 4 years ago. She is about 28 and may be serving in the Navy.

A few years ago, I was looking for my cousin. I knew approx. where he lived, and I was wrong, and that he had been in the Air Force. I wrote to the Dept. of Defense. I gave them the particulars, an old photo, and thought no more of it. About three weeks later I received a phone call from him and he was living in Cyprus. Perhaps that is a route you might try....

Liz, I have the Chew Magna fiche for this period (soon to be transcribed for FreeReg) but a quick look around this time does not reveal any suitable baptisms.

Thank you Roy. I always check on Genuki as well. There are so many small parishes in the vicinity. I do know that there were some baptisms for earlier members of the family in Chew Magna. I was hoping that someone just might have a fiche of the missing years for Chew Magna.
