    1. [CHASE-L] Submitting GEDCOM Report
    2. John J. Whitney
    3. I would like to submit my Chase Family Tree, but I have questions: -My Chase data is part of a combined family history of my husband's and my families, maintained in a Family Tree Maker Family File. My earliest Chase ancestor known to me from my family history is Zephaniah, born March 14, 1747/48 in Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, Dukes County, MA, whose first wife was Abigail Skiffe. This Zephaniah appears in Banks, Vol.. III as No. 201. Since Banks provides what appears to be a complete family line which connects my Zephaniah with Isaac Chase, the first of the Chase name to settle on Martha's Vineyard, I can easily prepare in FTM a Genealogy Report, showing descendants from Isaac on in my family line, with living individuals omitted. Is a Genealogy Report of this sort, prepared as a GEDCOM type of file, fit in with your requirements? If there is any doubt, should I just prepare it and send it, and let you decide? -Banks says that Isaac descended from Richard through Aquila Chase through Thomas Chase. My family's records say that our Chase ancestors came from England, from the marriage of Henry Chase and Mary Townley. I don't have further information on Henry, and the only Mary Townley that I find (through FHL's familysearch.org Web site) is Mary Townley b.1605 in England, d. Oct 6 1659 in Yarmouth, Barnstable, MA, with possible marriage to a William Chase. Can you shed any light on this? If my family records are correct, they seem to conflict with Banks' Richard to Aquila to Thomas to Isaac track.
