Hello all and welcome Richard! We have been quiet these summer months and I hope it means we are either enjoying the out of doors or researching bigtime ;) Thought I would use Richard's post to let him and all our other new subscribers know of our "family progress" this year (there are about 70 researchers on this list). As "oldsters" on the list know, I offered at the beginning of the year to post DEWHURST family group sheets for all listmembers on my website so we could all have the chance to "look over each other's shoulders" for connections in our research. This has been *very* successful and you can see the results here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1dewhurst.html In fact, so many of you provided data that I had to split up the chart alphabetically, so scroll a bit down the page to the alpha table knowing it is organized alphabetically by FIRST name. I just received another family group sheet yesterday from June Phoebe Erskine Booth for the family of John Dewhirst in Drighlington, Yorkshire, England. As is true for many of us, June's information is good where she has it but sparse, like many of us. Take a look and let her know if you see anything "familiar!" Here is the link: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/johndewhirst.html If you are new and haven't "surfed" our group sheets, it is a good place to begin! The offer still stands, so let me know if you want your family groups posted - you can either send me the data in text email format or you can send an attachment in Word or a GedCom, I am not picky.... Good luck to you all - let me know if any of you come across my William Henry around 1816 in Hackney, Middlesex or even anywhere else??? Cheers!
