| Copy quoted from Weldon Smith's Introduction on the Welcomes board: Topic >>> Welcome melba788101>>> | melba788101 wrote: | :donkey2: Howdy
My name is Weldon Smith. My home is New Mexico. I am a retired Postmaster. My birthday is Aug 22. Have spent all my life in New Mexico except the short time I served in the armed forces. I am married have two children, five grandchildren and two great grandchildern.
My interest right now is my family tree. My grandparents came to New Mexico from Tennesse in 1903 and farmed the New Mexico Plains and went here and wonder put a few of us stayed put.
Looking forward to our chats and all the good info.
My ancestors are:
Andrew Smith and Olive Pitt came to America 1677 from Farsley (Yorkshire) ENGLAND
Frances Newble/Newbill came to America in 1645 from Wales [ENGLAND - error = should be Wales, UK]
Surnames: Smith/Smyth/Smythe, Newbill/Newble, Maddox/Mattocks/Moddock/Madog, McMurry/McMurtry/McMurtree, Thomas, Bolin/Bowles/Bolling, Toombs/Tomb/Tome, and Adair/Adare |
Howdy again Weldon,
Keep us informed how its going with your Yorkshire Smiths & Pitts research & your Welsh Newble/Newbills won't you?
Have also put a copy of this on the "W.R.Yorkshire" Board, here>>> link>>>SMITHs & PITTs from Farsley Yorks to America 1677>>>
So you might want to click on "Watch Topic for replies" at the bottom right underneath each of these two Topics.
Chat again soon,  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carole, Smith Project/Smith Chat Admin Nothing is too small to know, and nothing too big to attempt (William Van Horne)

| Ho ho ho - sorry jfs - well spotted. I don't know how I missed that when I was copying the message over to here.:ck-hrrmm: I'll alter that now, here & on the original one, & the other copy!! Carole :wave2: Weldon - when you arrive back here - you might already realise that you made that error in your original message - but if not........ Wales & England - 2 separate countries in the UK. _____________________________________________ |
