We now have 50 members on our list. Something for us to celebrate next time we are in the Beaufort. All you ILES researchers better get ready to welcome Derek ILES who I am sure will introduce himself and his researches very shortly. Angelina ILES married Edmund THOMPSON and they had lots of little ones. Welcome to all the new members. Post your interests and something of yourselves as well. We are just a big happy family here. Which reminds me. A THOMPSON rellie is visiting from Aus at the beginning of October so I shall be planning a get together of sorts then. Mrs Pond Dipper celebrates ehr birthday on the 4th so it will fit in well with that. I will let you all knowthe date as soon as possible. I hope to organise some sort of family history event around the time as well. Geoffro The Pond Dipper
