Dear Deborah,
You wrote in 2007 that you had traced your lineage back to Henry, 1493, and you were hoping to recover it back to 1466 by avoiding an Ancestry problem that had tempoarily "lost?" it for you.
I hope that you have succeeded.
I have a lineage chart given to me by John Reeves of Salisbury whose mother was a CHRISTMAS. His goes back through the same Thomas (1522) married to Joan Inwood, that you have, and then back to the same HENRY (1493 - 1550) as you have but with additional info of his location, Worpleston and his will of 1550, (which ties in with the 1550 you have of his death) and his wife named JULYAN ???????.
However, that's as far back as he could get and if you have got further back it could open up possibilities for we 3 CHRISTMASES.
My lineage is not in John Reeves' one so far anyway, but I think Henry (Happy) CHRISTMAS of Shrewsbury is in it.
My lineage goes back, so far to Robert of CHOBHAM in Surrey. I hope to succeed in going back as far as I can to see if Mine branches out from that of yours, John's and Henry's
I would be grateful if you would inform me of your progress. I will carry on with my research, but I will have to get access to many wills, rolls etc of the
14th to 16th centuries. I have got a few buried in some old books that I have bought at 2nd-hand book sales here in New Zealand but some are unfortunately in Latin and even one is in mediaeval 'english' which has many translations (but alas not all) in an appendix.
I look forward to your contact.
Kind regards,
Ray Christmas in New Zealand.

Dear Walter,
Thanks for your e-mail.
Maybe there's not a NWK rootsweb as such like the K rootsweb, - just the Society.
Yes, I'm researching back beyond a Rev CHRISTMAS vicar of Chobham, Surrey, 1640 but I suspect that he came out of Kent.
The reason that I wanted to rootsweb your area, NW Kent and also rootsweb Kent [as a whole] (for which one doesn't have to join the Kent Society) is because the earliest recordings of a Christmas from 1083 out to 1640, are all from Kent and London. The name was spelt in various ways such as a Kentish knight by the name of CRISTEMASSE jousting at a tournament in 1243 and another knight a CHRESTEMASSE who had a stained glass window depicting him in the SUTTON VALENCE church, close to the border of Kent with Sussex. CHRISTMAS BROTHERS had a mill at Marsh Green near Edenbridge, which was later called the Haxted Mill in about 1300. At least one of the tournaments was at Dunstable where some knighthoods were awarded but his was not awarded at that one - I can't yet find which tournament at which he got his.

Hello Ray,
Yes the NWKFHS mailing list was set up for members of the Society. Is there any particulary person you are researching?
Best wishes,
Walter.

Am I correct in thinking that this rootsweb site is only for members of the society?
Many other rootsweb groups don't require "casual" researchers to join the local society.
Please advise
kind regards,
