This is a long post and I am sorry for it. In the OPD database there is listed a John Robinson b. c1700 with some 2000 of his descendants. For several years, I have checked from time to time to see if anyone on this list claimed the JR, and so far I have come up dry. If you see your ancestors listed anywhere in the following, I would like to hear from you. We have formed a small mailing list in which there is a very real possibility that we will help you find several thousand cousins you didn't know you had. PLEASE, if you hit reply, remember that the default for it to go to the entire list. Change the To: address to jr@jrshelby.com The list has endured this long post once and that is quite enough to try their patience. A very short (!) version of JR's descendants in the OPD database follows. John Robertson ========================================== 1 John Robinson b.
