Hello Folks, Sorry for being so quite lately. However, I have been working on several projects which have been getting all of my attention. One of those is getting pretty close to completion and I would like to get some reviews if possible. I still have some sources to cite, bits to add, and probably a whole lot to edit out entirely. Anyway, this particular project's topic has been the family merchant network in America during the late 16th and 17th century and is located at http://www.payn.org/american-merchant-network-1.shtml There are several supporting documents that go with it which can be found beginning at http://www.payn.org/pfhs.shtml . I've posted some of these previously to the PAYNE lists. I am hoping that these projects will form the basis for my book on the subject. Any input, critiques, suggestions, or pointing out of any errors would be greatly appreciated. Particularly in areas that might be weak and in need of more support. There is a lot of genealogy incorporated into these pages, much of which comes from Complete Peerage, Dictionary of National Biography (England), and other sources which I trust are accepted sources. I've cited many of those sources throughout, however, others are in my family file and I have not taken the time to copy them over from that file into these pages. Rather, I hope to hyperlink to them taking full advantage of the technology the web offers. I'm not sure how to approach it just yet or which would require the least amount of effort. I like the idea of hyperlinks though, as one of the benefits is that it cuts down on the number of pages, making it more readable. Some of the genealogy gets very tedious to read I think... but it is necessary to make my point that these merchants were a tightly intermarried group whose origins stretched much earlier than the colonization period. That is where I could use your reviews- I am making that point clear enough? Anyway, have at it and I hope you find it of interest. Regards, Patrick http://papayne.rootsweb.com
