Hello Linda, It was nice to hear from you again. Glad all is well and that you are having nice trips. I have not been on vacation since 2013. With my back and knee problems it is not easy for me to walk like I did in previous years. The surgeon said I played too much tennis and sports and wore out the bones. With my blood problem it is not easy for me to have operations. I miss my European trips. Have not been to England for quite a few years although I am still in contact with many people - those who are still around. I am still heavily involved in family research. You mentioned Saunders in your note and did not know where the last one was born. Were you referring to William Saunders who married Hannah Dally? I see on Ancestry people have lots of different places and names etc. beyond William but there is no proven details as yet. I have been to Mosterton and it is very close to the Somerset border. There is also a Misterton and Petherton and they could also be likely places. There are many Saunders in Somerset and I am a member of a couple of sites. For some years I have been in contact with someone in Australia whose way back ancestor was an Elizabeth Saunders from Mosterton. It is such a small place and we have never been able to make a connection. I even have a map showing the farm area where some Saunders were farming. We also have a way back Elizabeth but she died young. His Saunders was in the later Taylor family and he also has a Benjamin Saunders with a wife Elizabeth. There were two Benjamins both with wives called Elizabeth but different eras. He used a professional researcher and she said our Benjamin married twice. I wrote to her and asked where she found a second marriage and whether she had seen a certificate. She never replied. I always want proof of entries otherwise the info just stays in a note. I have all the info on both families. The records are strange re the Saunders in Mosterton. The first children are shown as children of William and Hannah. The next batch is only of William. Odd but it seems to fit re dates etc. Have you noticed that all the children have religious names. I have the Hansford line going back a long way with other names. I am waiting to hear whether Richard Hansford in Portland was the one born in Swyre/Puncknowle. There is no proof although I see Ancestry members are including the connection (by copying other trees) A contact had his DNA done and was in touch with a descendant from the Swyre Hansford line. If there is a DNA match then we will know that our Richard was the same one who was born in Swyre/Puncknowle. The baptism dates are the same but that is no proof. I rarely look at Ancestry trees as when I find an error I notice that others are copying the same info. Even transcribers for Ancestry have made errors - I corrected some for Ancestry myself which were on the branching Hansford lines. I am still copying over 100 pages of the Hansford line who branched out into other countries but it takes time as I check the entries to make sure they are correct even though I know the person who sent it. I am working on the Pearce line from Portland at present and helping a contact in Ireland. I do all my research and checking from Parish records and it takes time. I used to spend about 9 hours a day at the Reference Library but it is difficult without a car (at weekends as I was working then). Now going to watch the DNC for Clinton. I watched most of the Trump one. Matter of interest. What did you think of BREXIT? Weymouth and Portland voted to leave Europe and I was not surprised as when I have been to Portland quite a few people complained about Europe - although they mostly went there for vacations. I guess it was mostly about the immigration problem. Interesting to see what happens. Thanks for keeping in touch. Dee
