This is another reply for Donna who inquired about the DEWKER surname in Sandwich, Kent, England. Donna, our list archives has some info which has been previously posted here on HWE regarding possible variants of this surname as well as this location. Go to our Searchable Archives (if you need them, instructions on how to do this are on our list website here -- http://www.island.net/~andreav/rchives.htm). Type in KEUR as a keyword, and select the year 2000. This will bring up a couple of posts re: surname VAN DER KEUR in Leiden (Netherlands). And, although I have no connection to this surname or location myself, I posted some related info that same year. For example, there is my post dated 29 Apr 2000 with subject line: VAN DER KEUR > ?DE KEWER? (Sandwich, Kent, ENG) And two others, both posted on 30 Apr 2000, with the following subject lines -- Walloon gardeners & weavers > Sandwich, Kent, ENG and Dutch/Walloon Surnames at Sandwich, Kent, ENG The first of these posts was, I believe, general info about Sandwich but the second one specifically mentions surnames such as DEKEWRE, DEKUVER and DEKEWER among others. As for LALLEMONT, there is one lone post in the archives, again in the year 2000, from a subscriber who was seeking info but gave few if any details. Donna, it might help if you posted further info about your own DEWKER and LALLEMONT ancestors as well as names related to them. It might also help if you let us know exactly what additional info you're hoping to find. Regards, Andrea (list concierge)
