Hello all, In view of the approaching bi-centenary of the birth of Sir Joseph PAXTON, the designer of the Crystal Palace, I have put a tree of his family, as it has been currently researched, on my web page at: http://www.ge35.dial.pipex.com/josephpaxtontree.htm Would any one who has any possible connection with these PAXTONs like to contact me with a view to arranging activities to celebrate the Crystal Palace in 2001 and Sir Joseph's bi-centenary in 2003. I am in touch with a number of living descendants who wish to meet other family members. I am happy to help anyone who is looking for PAXTON connections in England to find their roots. best regards, Eddie Richardson
