[WED]Wedmore Emigrations

[John Hayward]

Hi possible cousin Charles

I have William Gibbs and Nancy Wall in my family, Nancy is a 6th cousin 3
times removed AND a 5th cousin 4 times removed, similarly related is my
cousin Tim Curtin in Canberra, Australia, to whom I have forwarded this
email. There are also several others we are in contact with.

Would it be possible for you to send us both the descendants of William and
Nancy that you have via GEDCOM. I have no doubt Tim would send you all he
has, since he is probably more up to date than me!

With very best wishes.

John V Hayward
in The Heritage Coast, Suffolk, England.
