Arabella, what is the website (URL link) for St. Mary's Church on the net? There are several when you search through google.... -----Original Message----- From: Sackett [mailto:Sackett@btInternet.com] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 11:12 AM To: SACKETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [SACKETT-L] RE: Is this a sacket list anymore Just look at St Mary's Church in thanet and you will find all the history of the Sacketts. As a writer and a Sackett by marriage I too searched the entire globe for links. Then found that one Simon Sackett was on the Mayflower to America or the new world. Please feel free to contact me on my email address. Sackett@btinternet.com. All the best Arabella Sackett. -----Original Message----- From: Sackett, Ali [mailto:Ali.Sackett@gbr.xerox.com] Sent: 05 June 2003 08:50 To: SACKETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [SACKETT-L] RE: Is this a sacket list anymore Thurmon and All, I'm afraid I'm one of those elusive Essex Sacketts in England that haven't yet found a link into the Sacketts of Kent...I'm sure we'll find it eventually. Although I was born in and belong to the Essex Sackett line, I actually grew up in Kent (Isle of Thanet). I spent a great deal of my childhood down on the coast, Margate, Westgate, Ramsgate & Broadstairs. My brother still lives there so I visit often. One of our favourite family stories that has been passed down through the generations, is that my great x5 grandfather was the Sheriff of Essex. He was caught Sheep rustling and as punishment had his land confiscated for 100 years. As yet I have found no evidence to back up this story so it may well turn out to be a tall one ! My Dad is still fond of a good Sackett story. Ali -----Original Message----- From: Thurmon E.

Now, a suggestion concerning your statement: "I too get very little information about my family from this site ..." You need to occasionally "remind" us of your quest by reposting your query. More than once I have run across information that related to a query I had forgotten about until I saw it reposted. And I am sure this applies to others on the SACKETT-L. In other words ... Be persistant !!
