This Roll Call has been sooooo rich, I wish someone would take all the information that has been offered and put it into an alphabetical database of "Williamses" and post it somewhere on the Web as a Williams One Name study.... This surname has a HUGE following and such a Database would be an excellent tool to help researchers begin to sort out all the families (which, by definition, of course were finite, at least!). KEEP UP THE SHARING! The more sharing there is, the higher the chances are that the many of us with "lost" Williamses will find our way *home*!! Jana Black
