Greetings & Salutations!
I've just become the new CAVENDISH-L list administrator and am hoping to
perk up this list with the addition of new listmembers. Presently there are
only five of us here. I know there are more CAVENDISH researchers out
there, and I plan to contact those I am familiar with, and I hope y'all
will do the same. Also, any suggestions you may have for increasing
list-membership (or on any other topic) will be welcome.
My CAVENDISH family of VA-WV goes roughly like this:
Pre-USA: Connection to the CAVENDISH Dukes of Devonshire family? The rumor
runs that this is so, but I haven't found the missing link. Yet. <g> The
Keeper at Chatsworth in 1960 stated that he could not find my #1 CAVENDISH
in any documents at Chatsworth. His suggestion was that more clues might
better be found in Ireland, and I don't disagree. I just haven't found the
time, energy or money to go galivanting off to Ireland to investigate. <g>
