Cousin, I have visited Stratford upon the Avon and was as impressed as you. I felt a kind of kinship with the locale, and wish I too could have stayed longer. So many places to visit so little time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Velma Gee Roadrunner" <vvgee@satx.rr.com> To: <DAVIDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, September 28, 2001 12:40 PM Subject: Re: [DAVIDSON-L] Re: Davidson Ancestors > I certainly hope my Davidsons came from the area in England near Stratford > on Avon.

I too have visited Stratford-Upon-Avon (http://www.stratford-upon-avon.co.uk/). Interestingly enough, my mother's family HAS been traced back to that area with descendants from Warwickshire. Beautiful area it is and the Warwick Castle is awsome (http://www.warwick-castle.co.uk/). It would be real funny if my research for my Davidson family actually ended up there as well.
