Sometimes it may not be friendly with everyone's e-mail servers, computers, and word processors. However, I think this copy of a paper I obtained many years ago could be very valuable to all researching the Governor's lineage. I don't remember who I received it from, so I can't recognize them and give them credit. But the paper was written by (Mrs. C.F.) Lillian Hayes Fisher, date and place unknown. Maybe someone out there recognizes this person. I think it came from the Indiana Library that holds a large Genealogy section. This is Part 1 of what I was hoping will be three. The second part is a copy of an entry of a book called "Our Family" Lucas, Brown, Patterson, by Helen P. Booth. I am entering that into the computer now and will send a copy when finished. It pushes the Governor family back to England to 1525. There is some overlapping with the first paper which makes me feel good. The third part is a family group sheet that I still can't find! It listed the siblings of the Governor, which as I remember, had dates, places, marriages, etc. This first part was copied into a Macintosh computer using Microsoft Word v6.0.1. I then saved it as a TEXT file, hoping it will be friendly with most word processors. I'm not sure about e-mail attachments and how they encode attached files. But if anyone has a problem detaching their files and bringing them up on their computers let me know what they are and I will try to straighten them out. The reason I didn't copy and paste this into the body of this e-mail is that it takes up about 7 sheets. Typically, Windows 95 and NT (what I have at work) have no problems bringing Mac .doc files up. But not everyone has it. Therefore the TEXT file. Bear in mind that this is not a full-blown book that has every person and their spouses and children up to the present. I haven't found such a book. But maybe this is where it starts. For payment in return.......... I have created a chart for the Governor line. I have 88 people directly descended from Robert Lucas first in America. What ever you have on this family I would like to include it with what I've done so far. Please send me your branch via e-mail and maybe we can answere someone else's questions in the future. Stay tuned for Part 2. Eric A.
