I know that the information I now have on my website: http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Winn/index.htm is full of errors and I humbly submit the following observations/opinions knowing there are some people that have put a lot more time and effort into the Winn/Winne/Wynn/Wynne/Gwynne family than I have and will always know more than I do about much of the lineage and history. I am trying to establish sources for my Winn line and to make my website a helpful tool in finding and linking all the many family relations. I want to eventually have a link to everything of personal interest (to my relatives) that I don't cover in my site. And to have a useable reference that will help and not confuse others in tying to their lines. I have thought it best to do it in two parts: a.. GWYNNE: All those ancestors before immigration to America (assuming the move was around the 1600s). There seem to be many versions of the Wynne/Wynn lines in the 17th and 18th centuries. It would be nice, if possible, to establish a strawman version to work off of with links to other versions where warranted. I found an amazing book on Google Books: The History of the Gwydir Family http://books.google.com/books?id=DCoAAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA62&dq=gwydir&lr=#v=onepage&q=&f=false It a book written in the 1600 by Sir John Wynn (updated 1878 by Askew Roberts) with manuscripts found at Winnstay. I put much of the genealogy into my database program and plan to make a GEDCOM file corresponding to this book and it's lineage. I thought I would convert this to what will become the GWYNNE website a.. WINN: Everything since down to my mother, Beatrice Winn http://www.ancestor-rescue.com/Bea/index.htm For this I will use what I have collected over the years, trying to cover as many ancillary lines as possible (maybe, in some cases, only mentioning I have additional info not on the site itself). If I can tie one to the other (GWYNNE--WINN), I will but I don't want to assume the ties as has been done in the past. I don't subscribe to the immigration, census, etc. data so I can't use that to pin down immigration and sort through the Virginia Winns. What I am asking my many cousins is weather I'm wasting my time and this already exists or it is impractical for some reason I haven't thought of. And, if there is a way to do this without starting from scratch or using the wrong data, I really could use some help. In my research so far, I found Wiki to be an incredible storehouse of well-presented information. Randy C. Smart
