Hello all, You are receiving this post either because you subscribed to the NEWITT mailing list or because you posted an inquiry looking for NEWITT ancestors on the Rootsweb NEWITT bulletin board. I maintain both lists. Since this is such a small group, I took the liberty of subscribing everyone to the mailing list. If you do not wish to participate, please let me know and I will unsubscribe you immediately. The list is for the free exchange of information on the NEWITT surname worldwide. As I said recently, my own line is posted here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1newitt.html It is all form Bucks and Oxf. If you find a place on my charts where your line connects, I am always willing to add a link to your data from the common ancestor. I do this for free, for the love of family and will not ever sell it. On my charts, any underlined name links to another page of charts. I do not post information on the living and I stop the charts where a woman marries out of the surname. I am going to research the Free BMD listings and will post all the NEWITT listings so we can get an idea of where the surname clustered. I will post the results to the website and let you all know when it is "up." Meanwhile, let's do a roll call and share what we know. Try to include full names, date of birth, place of birth, siblings, parents, migration path, etc. Also, list where you are so we can get an idea of where our surname lives today! For my line, I would use this string, for example: John b. 1790 OXF m. Mary Howell > Thomas b. 1748/9 OXF m. Sarah Aynsley > Joseph b. 1787 OXF m. Martha Atkins > Thomas b. ~1811 OXF m. Susannah Tilley > Thomas b. 1837 OXF m. Hannah Radbone > Martha b. 1867 OXF m. Geo. Colsell Granted, this is a skeletal representation of the information I actually have, however, it is enough for someone else to decide if they want to look further and share notes.... Good luck to us all! Luckily families are, after all, finite, so eventually we ought to be able to sort them out <G> Jana Black San Francisco Bay Area, CA, USA
