Being a Rutherford I was asked many years ago to contribute to the book on the Rutherfords. I am not sure how it turned out as I never purchased a copy. Although the Rutherfords have gone their seperate ways, there a quite a few of us here in the US today and, I am hearing more mentioned anout our family name almost daily. I am also looking for additional past records and history on the family. I hope that some day soon I can put many of the pieces together. Let me know if you have any relatives that you are looking for and I will check our recoreds to see if there is any link.

love to hear from you

I just read your posting on the web and have just received some of our family background from my father in PA. Our family is primarily from upstate New York and we have spread out from there. Unforetunately none of the names you mentioned appear in our records which go back to the 1700's. I have to transfer the records to the computer so they are more orderly and readable. Some of our relatives were Keatly,
Walker, Ellis, Short and Hanne. Although there isn't a match in the history I have if you could go back far enough then I believe we all were related way back when.
