Thanks Terry! I have found GenForum to be absolutely amazing! It only began this spring or summer and its growth has been phenomenal!!! Just yesterday, I was able to link to an entire new family branch (one of those elusive women) based upon the info in a post which listed my Brinson ancestor as a sibling in a family group. They had "unknown" written in her husband's slot... I was able to give them not only the husband's name but all the descendency info in exchange for receiving the all her ancestry back to the 1600s! And I didn't even leave a chair...whoa! The link again: http://www.genforum.com/ Once you get there, just use the alphabet letters so you get the spelling variations shown AND don't forget to POST on the DEWHURST page!
