Hello Listers,
George CHRISTMAS & his wife Martha (THOMAS?) are in the 1881 census
listed as Innkeepers at The Rising Sun Inn, North St., Haverfordwest,
Pembrokeshire, Wales. They were uncle/aunt to Edwin CHARLES & Mary
B.CHARLES, who were my great uncle & great aunt. Edwin & Mary were
living & working at the inn in the 1881 census. I have tried to follow
up on the CHRISTMAS line but haven't made any more connections. Are
there any Wales connections with any of you on the list? All 4 of these
people were born in southwest Wales. Thanks for your help.
Edwina CHARLES in Calif

The Christmas Family web page, as well as the Christmas List, were
started 10 years ago this month. At times, it is hard to believe it
has been 10 years since we started the web page. However, when I look
around and my children are now in their 40s, and I have two more
grandchildren, and I seem to have more kinks when I get up in the
morning, I know it has been 10 years.
I thank each of you that helped get the web page started, and those
that have contributed to it over the years. When we first started, I
remember we debated whether to put source material on the web, but we
finally agreed that source material should be included. The source
material lets others see how we make the family connections, and is
easier for them to let us know if we are wrong, which many have.
I'm working on a web page update, which I hope to upload by July 29,
2007. If you have time, please check the web information, and let me
know if of errors or any additions you might have.
This update will include more census data, families, photos, and a
few special items, including two excellent documents.
Susanne Christmas and Larry Christmas have prepared a document on the
history of John Christmas (Smith) who founded the Danish branch of
the Christmas family.
Larry Christmas has also prepared a document on Thomas Christmas, the
one who founded the Irish branch
We have many members, who descend from Nathan Christmas and Celia
Baker. Their youngest son, Henry M. had been a dead end, until Mr.
Mark Oates provided information and photos on two (Sarah & John) of
their three children.
Mrs. Barbara Christmas Davis provided information and photos on John
William Christmas, son of Jeremiah Richard Christmas, son of Nathan
Christmas and Celia Baker.
This web site includes the photos: http://christmas.whturner.com/
This web site includes the same information, except no photos:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~research/index.htm
I'm so sorry for your loss, we will certainly remember you in our prayers.
