> 1) Where are you today, actually, geographically? Licking County, Oh (Central Ohio) > 2) What are your DEWHURST lines? Margaret Dewhurst/Duehurst, married November 2, 1692 in NJ to Thomas Clarke. (Hi cousin, Gordon Bonnet) > 3) How long have you been researching? Nearly 14 years. > 4) How did you get interested in family history? My great grandmother and grandmother. I also remember going to a couple family reunions when I was about 7 or 8 years old. > 5) Where are you stuck? Same as Gordon on the Dewhursts, I'm stuck at Margaret. The worse is my surname line, Johns, I'm stuck in 1882. > 6) Can you take your Dewhurst line "back to Adam" - show us! Naw. > 7) How can we best pass along our interest in family history to > forthcoming generations? I try to pass on to my children and mostly my grandchildren that so and so are related to us, or that our ancestors lived in this part of the county or they are buried in that cemetery. I also try to pass on the history that is related to our county and perhaps when they are older they will become more curious about these things. > 8) Anyone willing to share some good interview questions or techniques to get our elders to tell all? Wish I had done much more of this when they were still living. > 9) What are your favorite DEWHURST research internet links? This is the one. > 10) Anyone know of books written on the DEWHURSTS?
