mobius1357 — 21 Feb 2002 7:51:05 GMT

Okay folks, I am very very new at this, so please
put up with me on this.

I've just started all of this research.

I have come across some research done by
my wife's maternal grandfather William
O'Conner Heacock. I know it is not in
the standard accepted format, but I am willing
to share the info with anyone who may want it.

It goes back several hundred years.

My problem with it is that he left a gap between
himself and relatives in the 1800's; he must
have assumed when he wrote this that, of course,
everyone knew THAT history since it was so recent.

Prevelant names in this research:
Heacock
Grosvenor
Davies
Veneur

Hope I can help someone and they canhelp me!

THANKS!
