Well after reviewing the mail over the last week I have decided to drop the William CHASE project. It seems that many people have begun the exact same project and have huge databases chock full of the descendents of William CHASE. Not only has it been done, but a number of people told me that they do not want to share their information because they have worked so hard!? What is the point of these lists if not to share all of our pertinent information with eachother? Also, I received a message from an author who had just finished a 800 page book on the descendents of William CHASE and had sent a copy to the NEHGS. The author graciously told me that I may use any of the information in her book, which I very much appreciate. At this point I don't see repeating what has already been done and is being done. Instead, I will start a different project focusing on Swansea, MA families in the 1790 census. Thank you everyone. Andrew Bond
