Hello all, I recently purchased a stack of family group sheets from the Yates publishing Co. in hopes of finding any info on my Merritt line. Unfortunatly, the info I purchased was not of any help to me. I will be posting the info I recieved, as time permits, and hope it may be of interest to some of you on this list. Please do not email me for more info, I will be posting exactly and all that are on the sheets. I will not have any further info as these are not my Merritts! Hope this may help someone! Tammy Kane

Hello List, Posting my interests. William MERRITT died 7-11-1840 at Woodmancott. His wife was Patience WIGG. They married 14th April 1805 at Itchen Stoke. Children of the above; Thomas William Hannah Jane Mary Moses John John, William and Moses came to Australia. I am looking for further information on the other children and would like to contact anyone with an interest in this family. Hope there is someone out there. Thanks, Merv Brisbane, Australia.

Specifically to the lady (Mary) who isn't finding her ancestors on any lists. Sometimes there are no other relatives working on your line and you must just dig in and begin (or finish) the "hard work" of doing all the census work and record searches all by yourself. I have a few lines like that. Progress is slower when you work alone but I've almost always found someone eventually in one of those family branches. Best of luck.

They are a ruse. I have replied to some of those folks who are suppose to be in our line and they come back and say they don't even have a Merritt in the tree. IF they have a match why don't they just give them to you. They are such a trip. Believe me you are not doing anything wrong IT's the company.

Mary, I typed in: (with the quotes) "JOHN W.MUSICK " And got the forum addy as one of the answers. They are spelling it Music at the forum. Using the quotes can sometimes work miracles. For this search I used http://yahoo.com another one http://www.go2net.com (uses about 10 search engines) Good Luck and keep looking, you just never know! <grin> Sorry I cannot help on the Merritts yet. Just go back to gg-grandfather in Mascott, Florida. James Robert Mettitt m. Oregon Sloan.
