Hello all I'm researching my family lines as above. I have a lot of information to share with anyone else interested in these families. I would also love to hear anything about the origin of these names. I'm leaving Melbourne, Australia and will have to unsubscribe from the List until late October 1999 when I settle down in a new part of the world. I will be travelling until then. However, I'd love to hear from anybody by private e-mail. I'll access these, and reply, from libraries during my travels. My grateful thanks to the Listowner and all the people with whom I've had contact. In fact, to everyone (except the one person who was on some Lists and who caused problems for so many of us). Best wishes, Ron Jones [email protected]
