This is my first message to the list. I would like to hear from any
and
all CHALMERS's.
My own line is from Fife and Kinross and Scotland and I have them back
to 1688.
I would like to invite you to have a look at my web pages at:
http://www.dgnscrn.demon.co.uk/
- where I have:
1) The Chalmers genealogy pages - showing my own tree
2) The Story of "The CHALMERS family" - as written by my father in 1987.
3) A links page with many links to anything related to the CHALMERS
name.
4) a Guestbook started back in 1997 - with many Chalmers's who have
dropped by.
I am also trying to do a private one-name study of the CHALMERS name and
have quite a store of data accumulated - which I will gladly look into
to see if there's anything there YOU might be interested in!
