[WED]Looking for ideas on a possible Wedmore-to-Iowa Descendants Association.

[Karla VF Staudt]

I am probably crazy starting this...........

Do you have any idea on how to START a Wedmore descendants association for
those us whose ancestors settled in Iowa?

What might its purpose be?

I think it is a great idea, and possibly I could do try and do something,
but not until next fall at least as we are getting ready to move the end of
June.  But I would be happy to collect ideas and thoughts until then and try
and do something with them all.

I'd love to hear what some of you "out there" think!

Hi Sandi

Many thanks for yours.

I am transcribing the registers and have now done the baptisms 1813  -
1893. The sad thing about this is that I'm not adding my own family as I go
on. I reckon to continue again when I've finished the marriages and burials.
It will probably be another year or so and then Michael Tutton will add them
to the Wedmore website after they have been checked.

Have you checked my family on rootsweb as below? Over half come from
Wedmore.

As I've said before, it's a pity there's not a Wedmore descendants
association of those that went from Wedmore to Iowa. Over 60 I've heard.

Best wishes
