Well Scott, that's exciting news. My family is growing daily!
Maybe we could exchange a couple of photos - particular of the past
generations - I'd be interested to see if we can spot any family likeness.
Do you have the means to do this electronically?
Sally (your cousin!)

Hi All (especially Sally)
We have a connection folks. In my files I only had Stephen Chant
and
Elizabeth, I didn't have their descendants or her last name therefore I
didn't have Lena Ellen. Sally, James Chant and Sarah Grace are our common
ancestors. We are 4th cousins once removed! Of course, we are both going
by
Andy's info and I like to believe that his information is accurate. I am
descended from Charles Chant (m. Jane Duke), Charles is John Chant's (m.
Elizabeth Reeve) brother.
Coincidentally, my grandmother, Edith Chant, her father was also
illegitimate. His mother had an affair with her brother-in-law. He was
subsequently put into an orphanage (in 1896) he was shipped to Toronto,
Canada (he was five). That is where my grandmother was born in 1915.
Thanks to this list I now have two known cousins over there in
England! What's amazing is that for my grandmother's entire life she hadn't
known anything about her father's history, he didn't know himself! Now
within the last two years she knows what happened, where it happened, who
it
happened and when it happened. She now has her Chant history back to the
1600s!!! And a few photos to boot.
