Greetings. I posted a PITCOCK/PIDCOCK query over a couple of hours ago on the above three mailing lists. I can see I have opened up a "can of worms" and the response to me has been incredible in such a short period. Upon further thought, it appears it REALLY should be opened since SO MANY others than just me are interested in my query. I am sorry I will be unable to answer all emails. I think we should move all responses over to [email protected] and not go thru TNWASHIN and KYMONROE newsgroups. To subscribe to the PITCOCK/PIDCOCK email newsgroup, send to [email protected] In the subject and body place ONLY the word - subscribe. Hopefully the moderators of the PITCOCK newsgroup will share with all of us new to the group their findings. Thanks for your responses and HAPPY ANCESTRY HUNTING! Gary Pitcock (formerly of Monroe Co. KY)
