I am also glad to see some activity on the Durman site. I have been researching Durman in England - my wife's ancestors. I can go back as as far as the birth of Francis Durman abt 1711 in Beer Crocombe, Somerset, England. I have records of some 200 Durman names, all in various towns in Somerset, England. Insofar as I know, none of these people emigrated to the US. One other point is that I found the name spelled Dorman in church parish baptismal records in several cases. I would be happy to exchange information on Durman in England. Ernie Snelling
