Dear David,
I am a genealogist in Maryland, and a descendant of the Ambrister and other families from Belize.I recently came across your posts to the Fairweather Family GenForum concerning the Fairweathers of British Honduras (Belize), and am interested in learning more of your own branch and your research in Belize and elsewhere.
My own ancestry included what had been a major brick wall: my great-grandmother Laura Blond Ambrister, who m. an American settler, John Thomas Seay, in Belize on 3 May 1883.I was never able to find definitive evidence on her family or ancestry, until I recently noted a webpage created by Pam Thomson (see extract below) showing a Laura Blond 'Ambristo' [sic], daughter of George Robert 'Ambristo' and Jane Fairweather [daughter of James Fairweather and NN Usher].My great-aunt Mary had told me some 40+ years ago her grandparents were Robert George Ambrister and Elizabeth Usher, and with a little minimal garbling on both sides it appears we have a match!
Anything you might add as to your findings re: the earlier Fairweathers and/or Ushers would be of great interest; likewise, if you had noted any reference to the Ambristers that would certainly be a major assist.I'd like to learn of how/where our mutual connection occurs, and would be happy to share information also re: our branch of the family (all emigrated back to the US between 1906 and 1939).
Your cousin, John Ravilious
