Message Board Post:
Hello,
I am looking for any information on an Eliphlet Lester Chichester.He married Bethiah Norton. They had 8 children one of which was my maternal grandfather Roy Lester Chichester he was born Sept 21st, 1909, in Wayne Nebraska.They later moved to Idaho and then to Arkansas at some point.That is where Grandpa Roy met my Grandma (Edna Heard). Can anyone help?
Hi John,
I've followed your messages on the Chidester list since you joined. It's always great to have people active in seeking information, and I encourage those who have been members for a while and have information to share. Because Chichester and Chidester are variants of the same surname, and they are tightly connected in this country, I act as administrator for both surname mailing lists. My preference as administrator is to remain in the background as long as everyone plays by the rules and has a good time.
You asked about membership, so I took a look. Here are the stats:
Chichester-L: 29
Chichester-D: 15
(4 are members of both L & D, so net total: 40)
Chidester-L: 21
Chidester-D: 10
(1 is subscribed to L with 2 addresses, 5 are members of both L & D, so net total: 25)
And because research often crosses over between the two surname variants, at least six are members of both Chichester and Chidester.
Happy Hunting!
John
P.S. For those of you who have corresponded with me in the past, my genealogy email address has changed from john(a)harneds.com to john(a)harneds.org
