And how could I have publicly omitted Ginger Reeder as one whose contributions made such a big difference - she being the one who deduced that "our" William came from the area around Wivenhoe! When I started as a novice Chase/Chace researcher, she was the one who spurred me on with her wonderful encouragement. I wanted my research standards to reach the level of hers. So, Jeffrey, you are following some mighty "heavy hitters" there................

Sometimes we drop our research for six months or so due to family or business pressures, but then we pick it up with a "fresh" eye , a different tack, and lo and behold - a breakthrough is made! The answers to William's origins are out there, I feel sure. We're all hoping you will be the one to discover those origins..............We can wait. Best of luck! Judy Chace Needham
