Since Escambia seems to have some of the best genealogists around, I thought I would present a question for your response. I started researching the Delony/Deloney surname and quickly got back into the 1700s. There is one link that is missing but I expect to find it in the near future. One group of brothers and cousins born from 1779 to about 1825 scattered from Virginia to Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas. Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas. Later generations moved from those locations to New York, California and Illinois and I am sure other places. Inquiries posted on the Rootsweb message page seem fruitless as different people name their gggrandparent and ask if anyone is kin to them. It appears to me that a coordinated effort though would connect many if not most of the Deloney families out there and create a very large genealogy file. Would FTM be the best program to begin posting information from the various people (not necessarily connected) with the plan to begin connecting them eventually as information is received that would match up families? Has anyone tried to do something like this before? I appreciate your input. David
