eVetRecs: Request Copies of Military Personnel Records National Archives Info - you can now access your DD-214 on-line. Please pass this information on to retired military personnel you may know. The National Personnel Records Center has provided the following website for veterans to access their DD-214 online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. Please see the details below. The National Personnel Records Center is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180 which can be downloaded from the online web site. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom processing time. Also, because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. Veterans and next of kin may access this application at: http://vetrecs.archives.gov

Thanks, I found my great grandfather, whom I haven't been able to pinpoint.

Yes that would make sense that Anthony sailed to Southampton. It would have been a difficult journey across country, that's for sure. From what source does Ms Gordon get her information. Are there contemporary letters describing the journey from Boston to Southampton? I note that Threfall Mentions the village of Sempringham where Anthony's ancestors had lived for several generations.

Tristan asked: Was it not Yarmouth port from which Anthony Colby sailed in 1630? Strange that there were Colbys Living in Yarmouth in the early part of the 17th C. =-= Let's agree for the moment with Anderson (The Great Migration Begins) that Anthony came as a servant to Simon Bradstreet of Horbling (oh, beautiful irony: Anthony was my father's ancestor, Bradstreet was my humble mother's). In a 2005 book on Anne Bradstreet (Charlotte Gordon: Mistress Bradstreet), the trip from Horbling is described, starting on page 79: "Finally the long-anticipated message arrived. Their ships were anchored in Southampton, three hundred miles away. . . . It was time to leave Boston, meet up with their fellow travelers in Southampton, the port town that would be their point of embarkation for America . . . . "They would have to travel rapidly to avoid the additional costs of anchorage. . . . English roads of the time were so poor that the most efficient way to reach the south coast was by water. Ships that sailed out of Boston were by necessity small and shallow keeled, since they had to navigate the perilous shallows of the Witham River. . . . "After at least three days of sailing, the little boat clipped through the Strait of Dover, where Anne could gaze up at the sharp chalk cliffs. . . . [W]hen they came in sight of St. Catherine's Point jutting ruggedly out from the Isle of Wight, they knew that the first stage of their journey was almost over--Southampton and a safe harbor were close by." Kate Forster

Have just come across some entries in the Parish records of Hecklington, Great Hale and Burton Pedwardine. These were sent to me some 10 years ago by R.Hugh Colby of Gloucestershire. They list the birth, death and marriages of the Colbys of Heckington from 1750 onwards. I presume you know of this branch. If not, can send you info. Am posting package of photos of Colby houses from my branch (Rhos-y-gilwen, Ffynone and Pant-y- Deri) to Ron and Kate , so will include them in that. It is a shame that these records do not appear to go back further than the 18th century, as Hecklington is only a brisk 25 minutes walk North of Anthony Colby's village of Horbling. Perhaps there might be a connection. Most of the Colbys listed in these Parish records were blacksmiths or shoemakers. In 1880 Frederic Thomas Colby. F.S.A wrote a small treatrise on Colby of Great Torrigton, a copy of which he sent to my great great grandfather Rev. Robert Colby of Rhos-y-Gilwen. In his miscellaneous notes I found an interesting entry:- 1636. A gate opened through the Town wall which had many names, Little Gate, Garden Gate, COLBY's Gate, &c., Yarmouth. (The late MR. DOVER COLBY erected a number of cottages near the Black Friars' Well, Yarmouth). Was it not Yarmouth port from which Anthony Colby sailed in 1630? Strange that there were Colbys Living in Yarmouth in the early part of the 17th C. Yours aye Tristan Colby Salazar.

Check out Ephraim Colby - son of Joseph & Abigail Warren Colby who was born in Amesbury, Massachusetts 24 Mar,1750. In some records he is listed as "Colbey". He is supposed to have gone to New Hampshire and died there. I think he is Samuel S. Colby's father. But I can't find proof. At least, not right now!!! I don't even have a name of a spouse!!! If someone can check out this, it would be great!

Ron -- The "Victory" ships were a series of mass produced vessels put into service during the latter years of WWII -- they represented an improvement over the older and slower "Liberty" ships. An alphabetical listing of all 534 "Victory" ships can be found at: http://www.usmm.org/victoryships.html According to this website, ships #36-253 were named for various American cities. The Colby Victory was hull #84, so I would presume that it was named after one of the several U.S. cities named Colby. Guy I.
