Hi Darrell,

After many years, I have finally put my Rayburn/Reynolds/Hensley families on WorldConnect. I'm still checking and correcting, but it's mostly up there. [I just saw that the parents of Jonas Reynolds didn't make it into the gedcom, but I will fix that.] I appreciate it that you put in your WorldConnect entry for William Rayburn my long email about my findings on the Rayburns and Reynolds. It was nice that you showed the source. But now that I've finally put my stuff out there, you could, if you wanted, take out that long email. It's up to you.... I'm just letting you know that my information is up there.

Thanks for all your work on Bath Co!

Regards,

Pat Boyd Ward

Hey Pat,

      Good to hear from you again.  If you don't mind I would like to keep your letter as part of my research.  Remember in a couple hundred years it will also be considered an important document to our descendants.  Kind of creepy when you look at it that way but I would love to find a letter written by my GG-grandparents.   

What is you website address. I would like to see what you came up with.

Congrats on posting you tree to the web!

Darrell
