Yo...My goodness! what a sad email to receive . . . Your reply was right on and very nice ~smiles~ I am afraid I might not have been as nice! I enjoyed all the blogs about the ancestors from the Mayflower. I was very envious ~laughs~<br /><br />I have a few connections with the families from the Mayflower, but they are from marriages, not direct lines. I wish I had a direct line, but I still enjoy reading the research that has already been done on the Mayflower families and being able to add them to my database. I have learned additional information on my direct lines by researching these collateral lines.Focus Grandma!

I tell them that the reason I joined the Society was because filling out the application, and having it ACCEPTED, was like winning a Pulitzer prize for genealogists. I, like many other members, never intended to join a meeting (most folks hang the certificate on the wall and that's it). But we went to a luncheon and I had so much fun meeting cousins that I haven't missed a luncheon yet in almost 10 years. Every table was full of cousins, and they all greeted me with open arms, stories and laughs. There wasn't a snob or millionaire in the room- retired plumbers, teachers, librarians, mechanics, accountants and regular folks. We all know the stories about our families and it is fun to know that "my ancestor went hunting for fowl with your ancestor in 1621" or "your cousin married my ancestor's daughter". It is the fun that drew me to the organization, nothing else!Heather Wilkinson Rojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17704949156266722016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-4036014546745447202011-11-25T12:07:04.601-08:002011-11-25T12:07:04.601-08:00.....I remembered Ashley Judd is the name......I remembered Ashley Judd is the name.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-51821932008370702262011-11-25T12:04:52.904-08:002011-11-25T12:04:52.904-08:00By chance here in the UK the BBC broadcast the la...By chance here in the UK the BBC broadcast the latest series of Whondonyou think you are (US) I can not recall the name of the actress, but she connected to the William Bewster line, originally from York, migrated to the US on board the Mayflower. A search of the web site for the broadcasting station will I am sure provide the details of the actress. I alas deleted the recording after watching, & now can not recall the name. If I remember will drop you a comment.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.com
