Jana, and all, I've posted more, in fact ALL the info that was in the book. It's a little odd looking at it, as the numbers of the posts are reversed from the way you'd normally read them. Guess folks will have to print them out and then put them in order. Each one picks up where the one before leaves off. Definitely the records are from England. Blackburn, Lancashire, England - and the area around it. That seems to be where the Dewhursts started out - although they did move about (and multiply) It shocked me when I first looked at the IGI for Lancashire - there were so many of them. I've also seen the phone book for the area. In spite of the fact that some have migrated - plenty stayed put in Lancashire. Hope someone finds something good in there. I'm encouraged by the posting of Colleen Dewhurst's line. I think I have info somewhere about part of that family.
