To klos@westpa.net and Mayflower Listers: I know that this Message Board Post was back in January, but I just noticed that it appears that you have found the maiden name of Stephen Hopkins' first wife Mary. You wrote: > Stephen & Mary Jane Merritt (1) marriage > Stephen & Elizabeth Fisher (2) marriage How is it possible that Caleb Johnson has documented that Stephen's first wife was named Mary, but her maiden name is unknown. I purchased the 10-page article that Caleb Johnson had published in The American Genealogist in Vol. 73, No. 3, July 1998, and certainly, a maiden name was not found for Mary at that time. If this message from klos@westpa.net has already been responded to, I am sorry that I missed it.

The Genferret, who is by nature a meddlesome little weasel, and who is also geting restive from being cooped up all alone in a cage, would like to take this opportunity to mention a very useful feature that it seems not many people know about -- all the postings to the list fit to print are found in the archives, which can be browsed here: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MAYFLOWER/ There's also page for specific word searches of postings http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=mayflower As it happens, Klos did recognize the error you mentioned in a later posting. No criticism for asking on the list is intended, it's just that this may be faster and more reliable when these situations come up. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
