Gil's correct. I haven't received any mail for exactly one week. Are we all asleep? Paulette Edes Waggoner

It seems to be just a slow period. There were only 3 messages in the last week: 2 on the subject "Photos of Palmer River" Nov. 17 and 1 on "Vinals of New Bedford" Nov. 21. There have actually been others attempting to post to this list (and other lists) that RootsWeb screens out for us. I see them in my administrator's mail; they range from the "get rich quick" variety to porn ads, etc. Incidentally, I'll be gone for the next 2 weeks but will occasionally check the list from the cyber cafes of England. (Couldn't refuse British Airways roundtrip Denver-London tickets @ $197.50.) I'll be in that area where many town names are familiar to Bristol county and other Plymouth Colony researchers, e.g. Taunton, Bristol, Dartmouth, as well as Plymouth, Weymouth, Barnstable, and Falmouth. It has always seemed odd to me that so many Plymouth Colony towns get their names from southwestern England when about 60% of the immigrants came from 9 eastern counties, the largest contingents being from Suffolk, Essex, and Norfolk. I guess the name Plymouth is understandable since that was the Pilgrims' final point of departure, but I don't know what association there was with the other SW towns. The Puritans, who came later, did use the East Anglican names like Boston, Cambridge, Ipswich, Braintree, and Sudbury.

I'm still busy. Just yesterday I was told of a relative, born in Newport around 1915: Elizabeth Doran. She later married and man named Carr and then a man named Onzen (spelling?). She lived in the Westport, MA area around 1960. Anyone happen to know anything about her or her children?

And I just received a message from Naisp., that they were switching to new mail servers so for a period of 2 days I had very little mail from any list and actually only local mail...just a co-incidence with that and slow period like Jim., said and sure nice to know at least its still working Thanks all....Gil Jim Bullock wrote: > It seems to be just a slow period.
