Last summer I started reaching out to all DORE researchers and would like to again ask for people to chime in. My goal is to sift thru all the numerous Dore families and organize contacts for about 4 main groups. Please review the surnames and let me know where you think yours belong�the focus is mostly prior to 1850�I�m happy to share contact info and/or email records that might help further everyone�s research. I want to see DOREs documented from IOW and hopefully if we all cooperate we can push this along! Group A� These are DOREs mostly out of Norton, Freshwater & Yarmouth�especially those that married into Atkins, Boyer, Brett, Bright, Cammel, Comes, Dibbens, Gould, Groves, Gunn, Guy, Keat, Kent, Pell, Ralfs, Toogood, Williams, Woodford, Group B� This is another DORE group from approximately the same area (Norton, Freshwater & Yarmouth) but we cannot figure out a link� includes marriages into Allen, Baldwin, Brett, Capell or Cassell, Day, Dickenson, Galpen, Gunn, Gyer, Harvey, Johnson, Jollifffe, Lacey or Lacy, Lane, Moorey, Percy, Mitchell, Passey, Potter, Richards, Salter, Scovell, Shilton, Snow, Steeven, Theobald, Toogood, Trickett, Waite, Wall, White, Willyar, Woodford, Group C� Another DORE line that is mostly from a different location (Brook, Shalfleet, Brixton) would be Dores that married into Adams, Atkey, Cheverton, Crew, Dallimore, Dyer, Granger, Hollis, Holston, Horlock, Jacobs, Lovett, Manns, Pickerel, Pleyer, Snuddden, Thearll ,Ward, Group D� This is going to be the miscellaneous file�for any and all DORE families that we just haven�t figured out where they belong. The only qualification I�d ask for is that families are on the IOW prior to 1850�names we are finding include marriages into Allen, Butcher, Cheek or Chick, Collyer or Collier, Cooke, Downer, Dunning, Harvey, Hawkins, Hookey, Leal, Matthews, Slater, Smith, Snudden, Stone, Wareham, Wheeler� Sandy in Sacramento Homepage http://home.earthlink.net/~sandymento/
