Sam, I have only lately joined the list and am trying to make up for lost time. Therefore I would really appreciate you sending me your WordPerfect file. I do not have any gedcom capabilty at this stage but it is obvious that I will need it some time soon so that if you could also send me that file as well I will store it until I learn how to handle it. I am Australian born but now a citizen of Papua New Guinea. I am trying to trace the connection back from my first ancestor to come to Tasmania, Australia from England in March, 1828 which is considerably later than yours arrived in America. So far I can only make it back to his grandfather William Dutton who was born in 1724 and who married Anne Milward in St. Andrew, Undershaft, London on 5 September, 1747. I am hoping to find information on his father Matthew Dutton and the line back from there. Thanks, Warren Dutton Kiunga Guest House Kiunga. W.P. Papua New guinea
