Thank you Cheri, I have found family researchers to be a friendly and generous bunch of people. With regards the culture and customs of the time many things can go unchanged, even after 200 years, and I have managed to glean small bits of information from stories, journals, histories and ships logs around that time. Even a quick scan of past post can reveal much information.
Thank you again for the great contribution you are making to this group. Warm regards.
