From: Ronald Whitney <ronwhitney -at- worldnet.att.net> Subject: [WHITNEY-L] Proposal for new project Date: Mon, 30 Aug 1999 14:44:05 -0500 Tim, Sounds like a good project, but doesn't it kind of duplicate the work being done by GenWeb on their census efforts? I realize this would be specific to WHITNEY surname, but sometims that specificity is a disadvantage when seeking neighbors, etc. who may be relatives. Just two cents worth. >Note: All WRG researchers should keep an eye out for any Whitney >family in any source - including census records. If you see any >Whitneys out there, please extract it and post it to the list! > I posted some of this back in the dark ages when Jeanne Muse was sending out the Whitney newsletter. It was 10/5/96 if anyone has them archived. I am posting it this way because two of Josiah's daughters married Whitney men. None of this is in my line, just found while digging through the haystack in search of the proverbial needle. Thought I should post it before I delete it from my data. Hope it helps someone. If so give me a holler and I'll give what little documentation I have. Descendants of Josiah Crom Generation No. 1 1.
