It is good to hear that this association is still active. I have tried a number of times of the past few years to make contact without any success. I am a descendant of William BORRER and Mary LINDFIELD (1758-1807) (daughter of Nathaniel LINDFIELD (1709-1759) m Mary CLIFFORD (1725-1813)). I am interested in finding out more about this line - I think I have two generations further back but I am not sure about the accuracy, but little of their descendants except through the BORRER line. I would have liked to come to the Reunion but unfortunately being notified just 2 days before the event will not give me enough time to make arrangements.
