Hi Cousins! I am looking for some live cousins, one of whom I understand
has MUCH information on my Cannon ancestors. They are 3 siblings, all
Cannons, one boy, Robert Cannon, his sisters Karen and Connie, both of whom
are married, but I don't know their marriage names.
Rob lived in Redding or Hayfork California, his sister Connie's name was
DePorter and she lived in Paradise, Ca. but has since re-married. His
sister Karen was living in Anchorage, Alaska when her husband was killed in
a helicopter crash. She was a school teacher and has a son named Sloan. I
understand she has remarried but don't have her new name, either. Now most
of this information is over 20 years old. Sorry, this is the best I can do.
My parents kept in touch with their parents and now they're all gone.
Their parents were: Robert Cannon, B. 1905 in Atlantic City, NJ and
Verna/Donna ??? from Allentown, Pa.
Uncle Bob Cannon had 4 girls around my age in Atlantic City in the 30's but
left and started his second family in California. They have to be in their
50's by now. I'd like to meet them, not just for genealogy, but for
family. I guess you have to get old to appreciate extended family.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You Kindly, Joan Cannon Martin

Subject: [CANNON] First Ships discussion list
Hi Friends,
I'm pleased to announce a new list called First Ships.
http://www.mdwsweb.com/genealogy-lists/firstshipslist.html
From the description at the list home page:
---
This list is for research and sharing of information on those
people who came to New England on the first ships, their lives, why
they came here, their ancestors and descendants wherever they may
be, as well as those who married into these families. The ships
include the Mayflower, the Fortune, the Anne and the Little James.
There are many mailing lists focusing on the individual surnames of
many of these people but this list brings them together so we can
study them as a group, as family units, and as individuals.
Feel free to create a database to share your information; use the
files area to upload your gedcom or other genealogical or
historical document; the photos area to display your ancestors
connected with these lines or artwork relating to early colonial
New England; and the links area to promote your favorite websites.
And of course I encourage all to participate in the daily discussions.
---
I'm very excited about the future of the FirstShips list and I
expect it will be a great success.
There are many discussion areas for Mayflower descendants and I
felt there was a need for a list to discuss all the people of that
group who first came to New England including those who came on The
Fortune, The Anne and The Little James. Thus this list was created.
