George Leonard Firkins 2 Generations Report
April 19, 2003
Stacey Hutton and I have decided to jointly publish a "George Firkins 2 Generation Report" containing those descendants and their spousesof which we are aware. There are most likely some ommisions and some errors, typographical or due to conflicting information from multiple sources.
We hope that publishing this will:
a) help others in their genealogy research,
b) encourage others to provide corrections and additions to this data
The George Leonard Firkins story so far is filled with facinating tidbits (disfavor with the King, member of British Parliament, pirates, etc ...) passed down through various of his descendant lines. Some of these are indeed facts, others are just romantic sounding stories or possibly events confused over time and retelling through the generations. The primary goal of this publication activity is to communicate additional facts AND stories with each other with the hopeful result that we can weave together the probable and tie down more facts. Hopefully we can "cross the ocean" and connect to George's life in England before he immigrated to America ca. 1793.
We have included names and Email addresses (below) of people known to have declared themselves descended from George Firkins or who are actively researching the line of one or more of his descendants. The "George Firkins 2 Generation Report" shows references to these Email addresses. Descendants who have Email contacts are marked with the yen symbol ¥ and a number enclosed in square braces, e.g.[¥ 6], identifying a corresponding Email address. These names and Email addresses have appeared on either the Genforum Firkins Forum or the Rootsweb Firkins Message Board recently. Apologies for those who we have missed. Readers of those forums are encouraged to respond to this message and identify which line(s) they are descended from. Please use the Genforum or the Rootsweb Message board to communicate so all can see the "progress" in real time.
This will help create a database of EMail addresses of those individuals who (might) have information about George Leonard Firkins.
