I was honored to know Jo Smith Webb. i got to know her back abt. 10 years ago and we talked by phone and a few letters. She was in her 80s then and as sharp as a tack. She wanted badly to help me find my grandfather and we talked at length about him and what few clues I had. Her husband was a retired Judge and she and the Judge were close friends to the Carters. Former Pres. Carter and wife. She was a real character. and really just so down to earth that anyone would have been comfortable to talk with her. She sent me her book Linkage. I feel that all Webb researcher should have a copy of this fine detailed recording of the Webbs. It would be worth the money and it is so hard to stop reading it. Remember, Mrs. Webb did all the research "the hard way" way before computers and internet. I recommend it highly to anyone. Mary

The lady with the books is the grandaughter of Jo Smith Webb herself. I'm not sure how many copies she has, but it is certainly more than one. The WEBB family information is about the GA WEBBs going back up thru the ancestore to the line of Henry Webb, England, 1350. From what I hear, Jo Smith Webb was an excellent researcher. I can't wait until my copy arrives.

In the beginning, people were named after their towns ("John of Heskett" became John Heskett); their occupations, John Web (weaver); and sometimes even physical characteristics, such as John Longshanks -- or maybe even John of the Webbed Toes!

Hi, Mark We have a lot of webbed toes among our line. No DNA testing yet, though. Our line started out in New Jersey in the 1700s, then moved to Alabama in 1842. One thought... the guy who moved to Alabama in 1842 was a sailor (from 1828 through to 1842), and worked on ships up and down the Atlantic seaboard. He was half-Indian, and also boxed. I originally thought the webbed Georgia Webbs couldn't be connected, but considering how many sailors behavie, I'm beginning to rethink my position. Some DNA testing for all us webbed creatures might be in order.

Betty, so few have had DNA and web-toes I will reply. YES, I have the web between the 2nd and 3rd toe. A cousin on my maternal side was laughing that when we were young she remembered me telling her the reason for my name was because of my toes. She is going to laugh herself to death when I send her one of these messages. The kit # 14215 is from my Uncle--(My father is dead).

I understood the name Webb came from Weber or Webber, a weaver. My mom had some glasses etched w/the Webb crest and with the package came a little note about the origin of the name. For a minute there, I thought someone would suggest Web came from the fact that everyone's toes were webbed. Whew! Sue At 03:06 PM 4/27/05 -0700, you wrote: >Betty, Ian, Thanks to both of you.

Many years ago...50+ to be exact, I copied some records from the town library of Billerica, MA.

The name Webb in old Saxon (the original English native tongue) means a "male weaver." The name "webber" means a "female weaver." This is the language spoken in England before 1066. Of course, my line could have been named Webb at a later date because of our webbed toes.
