this is not my work-just passing on from nj list. contact info is:_dtourison@vcn.com_ (mailto:dtourison@vcn.com) Howdy all - just wanted you to know that I've been working on the FORD family these past few weeks, at the request of a member of this site. Extracted transcriptions include will abstracts from 1670 to 1817, plus some deed references in the 1600's, plus any marriages I could find, plus any references located in several other volumes dealing with NJ history and archives. Variations to the FORD surname are FOARD, FOERD, FORDE, FOORD, so far. If anyone is interested, kindly send me an email, and I will then transmit the material, in its entirety, when completed. Additionally, the same material will be transmitted to RootsWeb for their Archives. Kindly note, that although will abstracts from Volumes I & II from that series were done previously, I did not do any transcribing then, of given names which appeared in the Index, merely listed the names. But I've changed that rule, and am transcribing the material, page by page, of all given names listed for anyone with the varying surnames, and so the material will be more in depth, more complete. I have not decided yet to post it to this mailing list. It is already too large to put on this site with a single transmission, and I so dislike splitting up any material. The 'jury is still out' on that idea. Anyway, let me know if you want the completed research. God Bless. David
