http://noyesgenealogy.blogspot.com/2008/08/11th-generation-extensive.html About half way down there is " HRK comment:". I am trying to determine who HRK is. I have a typescript page on Gilman and Noyes that also has HRK comment:" for an italicized note. However, the page was not copied properly so 1/3 of the left side is missing, and there is nothing to indicate from what book the page came. I checked out Maine Hist. & Gen. Rec. 3, 1886 cited on that page (and elsewhere, having Googled all kinds of things trying to figure this out), and not only does it not say who HRK is, it doesn't even have the information this is supposedly citing. In the two pages I have, the page that is cut off says "onal research has been done. HRK)" and another, full, page, has after the list of the children of Edward (A) Gilman, "HRK comment. Many of the early lists give the name of the sons first, then name the daughters, regardless of the order of births." Whatever book it is, had to have been published after 1950, because one of the references is "The story of the Gilmans and a Gilman genealogy of the descendants of Edward Gilman of Hingham, England, 1550-1950" If I knew who HRK was, I might be able to track down the book. So, do you have any idea? -- Kathryn Bassett [email protected] (work) [email protected] (home) --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
