This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AUI.2ACIB/163.2 Message Board Post: David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr. [Email: DavidChm@sisna.com ], replied via Email to my 11 Sep 2002 Ancestry.com response to your 1 Aug 2001 posting here. David confirmed, as I suspected, the identity of your "CHAMBERLIN, William B. of NH" as: William Bradley(7) LN7105, John(6), John(5), Jonathan(4), Samuel(3), Thomas(2), Thomas(1) Chamberlain. David has a Family Group Sheet (FGR) available for this William [the LN number shown above reflects David's numbering system for all identified Chamberlains], listing a number of children in this family. William's wife's full name was Odora Clymena Owen. The 1850 Census data cited in my posting for this family was originally transcribed from the microfilm by David himself, who, after re-examining his original transcription carefully, confirms that "V? M. B. Chamberlain" is in fact "WM B CHAMBERLAIN" (shown in the original in upper case letters), and his son's name of "N? B." is in fact "W. B. CHAMBERLAIN." I don't know who you are - your name shown as "board admin" and Email address suggest that you are perhaps a representative of the group administrating these Ancestry.com Message Boards. I'd appreciate hearing back from you, confirming your personal identity, and official capacity, if any, for my records, and why you are researching this family, in case I need to contact you again. I myself am an avid Chamberlain researcher here in Michigan, spending much of my free time responding to Internet queries in various forums, including especially GenForum (hundreds of my responses there), and am one of the co-founders of the World Chamberlain Society in 1996. David is a professional genealogist located in Salt Lake City, and recognized as the leading authority on Chamberlain/lin genealogy. Perhaps you already know him. You can contact him directly, he says, if you want more info. on earlier generations.
