Thanks and Links

The information on this web site has been garnered by a number of people over 25 years, now in a computerised form. The Background page has the detail. I am most grateful to those who provided information over the years, not forgetting those with whom my father and brother had contact and I whom do not know.

The first were correspondents to my father, mainly family members in England especially his brother Edward and, even more my aunt Margaret who both researched and transcribed old family writings; in Canada, my cousin Elaine in Winnipeg, and in the USA, especially Harriette Jefferies, in the days before the Internet.

The second group are those who corresponded with by brother, most of whom I don't now have a record of. Much of his research was done by mail but later by the 'early' Internet systems. Since I have resumed the research I have had much help from a number of sources. For the Jefferies I have had the help of my niece Melissa and lots of notes left by my brother which I am still getting to grips with. In addition I have had help from Petrea Buxcey, another Jefferies descendant.

For the Jefferies that went to America, descendants of Henry Jefferies, I have had help from Sally Howard who early on in correspondence with my father pointed out where Henry Jefferies' family had first settled in Florida.

Information for the Galtons and Smiths have come from my cousin Elaine and her husband Howard as well as Stephen McKendry-Smith.

I have had contact with members of Blundells; a very large family in Kent and Titcheners but without much impact on 'my' ancestors as yet.

However four researchers who are working on the Streatfields have proved a very large resource; these are Malcolm Streatfield, Trevor and Val Gibbons and Ron Ellis, their knowledge and input will impact on what is on the site for some time.

Apart from my Uncle Hattie Galton who emigrated to Canada in the 1920's his uncle Stephen Smith moved there in the early 1900's and there are some records at The Smith Family History though this is now out of date for Smith ancestors.
