My Whitaker Family starts (at least as far back as I've gotten) in Lincs and part of them later move to Notts, then on to the U.S. Here's hoping someone will be able to pick up on one of these children and fill in the missing holes. If you put your e-mail on full screen it fits better..... :-) Linda Whittaker Knott [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/5868 England (Lincs, Notts, Dorset) WHITAKER,PINDER,KNOTT,PICKWORTH U.S.: WHITTAKER,LOVE,WEST,CHAPIN,MALOTT COMSTOCK,ELLIS,FERGUSON KNOTT,GOODWIN,AVERY CLARK,EVANS,MOCK,ROCHFORD,ALVEY ============================== Descendants of JAMES Whitaker Generation No. 1 1.
