Re H L Cheatham
On a recent "Today Show" there was a story about two men who
went to Hanoi on a business trip. The men encountered a guy
selling old GI dog tags from US servicemen who were killed during the Viet
Nam War. They were disgusted by the thought of this man profiting
from the sale of these tags. Upon returning to the U.S., they decided to go
back to Viet Nam and purchase ALL the dog tags. They did so, paying
19 cents per tag! They brought home several hundred tags. The plan is
to return the tags to surviving family members, when they can find
them. The process has already begun with one set being turned over to
a grieving Mom on July 4th, (coincidentally, it was on her birthday)!
These two men have set up a website, "http://www.founddogtags.com"
listing the names of all those whose tags they purchased.
If you lost friends, family, or know of someone who lost a
loved one in Viet Nam, I suggest you check out this website. If you
recognize a name, there's an e-mail address to contact these two men and
to help in their efforts to return the dogtag to it's rightful
survivor. I'm sure a family member would be eternally grateful to have such an
important item returned. Please help by checking this website. And
please send the website address to everyone you know. The more people
who see the lists, the greater the chance of returning ALL the
tags to those who lost loved ones in Viet Nam!
Hi all,
I am trying hard to trace my Cheethams. I start with James Cheetham bn
about 1800-1810.
He married Ann Chamberlain 1828, St Leodegarius, Nottingham, and settled in
that city and had 8 children.
The children were; Eliza, Ellen, Henry James Mary Ann, Millicent, Sarah Ann,
William. All were born b/w 1829-1853

I have started building the family tree for my boyfriend who is a CHEETHAM,
and have hit a brick wall.
We know his great-grandfather was a George CHEETHAM born 1871-2 and died
1949 and is buried in Weaste Cemetery, Salford, Lancs, UK.
He married Jessie Adams, and had 2 children; and he had a brother called
William Ellis CHEETHAM.
My problem is that I cannot track down who his parents were, despite
endless searches on the 1881 and 1901 census, and IGI.
Can anyone help? Are you looking for this particular CHEETHAM family?
If so, please get in touch.
Thanks in advance.
Lynne.
