I have received many letters, Emails and family histories which have been very helpful. Of these there are too many to mention individually.
There are a number of f amily historians and genealogists, however, who have contributed major manuscripts and books. These are listed below.
Much of the information listed below is not available except through individual family members, or possibly in local libraries, however, I would be pleased to provide additional information about the items.
I have included my reference “MyRef” numbers so I can located the reference if necessary. I would be very pleased to add contributors.
