So sorry Dot, hope you are doing OK...

I'm trying to locate Herbert Turner who has done a considerable amount of
Christmas family research. We corresponded a few years ago.
A family member tried to reach him via his e-mail link that is posted on
his site, but it was returned.
Any ideas?

Christmas Families Home Page
Updated April 27, 2011
Photos, by Donna Christmas, from the July, 2011 Christmas reunion at
Warrenton, NC.
Please note NEW E-mail Address: wht(a)whturner.com.
The Christmas Home Page was started in July 1997. Thanks to all that have
provided family information, photos and documents. The web page is designed
to help fellow researchers of the Christmas & related surnames. It is you
that has made the web page helpful to many Christmas families. The
information on these pages comes from my research and the works of many other
researchers; see below for a link to some of the other researchers. Our goal is
to connect as many individuals and families to their Christmas line as
possible. If you are having problems connecting your Christmas family, drop me
a note, and I will try to help.
Welcome, my name is Herbert Turner (Herbert8), Fauline7, William6,
William5, Nathan4, George3, William2, Jonathan Christmas1) and family research,
golf, and fishing are my main hobbies. The genealogy of our Christmas
families continues to grow, and your help is appreciated. I try to keep the
Christmas Home Pages updated as new information is found or received from other
researchers. If you find errors of content, omissions, grammar & spelling,
please let me know and they will be corrected.
This April 27, 2011 update includes some of the following additions: Death
Certificate info; US and some England census information; ancestral
photos; new Christmas family members, and corrections provided by visitors to the
web site, and other researchers. I hope you enjoy them, and I will
continue to add more family information, as time permits. Drop me a note when you
find errors, and any suggestions you have for improving the web page layout
and content.Please share your old family photos.
As with most genealogy work, we do not have complete factual data; we have
tried to note where we have made ASSUMPTIONS and why, but I know I have
failed to always do so. I have tried to reference those that have provided
family information, and where assumptions were made by putting my initials in
brackets - [WHT:]
So far, our research has concentrated mainly on the descendants of the
following Christmas families. If there are connections between these Christmas
families, one of our goals is to find it. Share with us your Christmas
family information, be it large or small, and help us solve some of our family
mysteries. We welcome others with different Christmas family lines to join
us in researching our surname.
Jonathan Christmas of Craven Co., South Carolina, USA; died after 1755;
married Hester Morton; first reference is a 1731 land grant.
Thomas Cross Christmas of Hanover Co., VA, USA, born 1689 and died in 1769
(Charles2, Goodman1)
Thomas Christmas of Louisiana, USA, died Abt 1818; married Rebecca
Collier; We really need help connecting this family.
William Christmas (Abt 1580- 1618) of Histon, Cambridgeshire, England,
married Agnes Hatfield.
Henry Christmas (1492 -1550), Guildford, Cy of Surrey, England, m. Julia.
These are the gggg grandparents of Sir Thomas Christmas, City of Waterford,
Cy Waterford, Ireland.
Christmas Families we have not been able to connect
For privacy reasons, information on living persons is not posted. However,
in the latest generation, due to age differences (births/marriages) in
previous generations, there will be a few living persons included, but no
personal data such as dates, locations or notes. if I have failed to do this,
please let me know. For information on current generations, please e-mail
me with your family information and I will try to make a connection and/or
get you in touch with a descendant of your line.
If you have a personal family web page with a Christmas connection, and
would like to link to the Christmas Families Home Page, please drop me a
note.
Christmas Researchers & Web Pages
Query: If you cannot found your Christmas ancestor, or want additional
information, drop me a note. If the information is not available, I will post
your query to our above Unconnected Families Page, and also write the
Christmas List for help; either way, I will be back in touch.
Introduction: A few general comments about these web pages and some
earlier Christmas individuals.
Christmas Mailing List: We have a mailing list with over 90 researchers;
the volume is not heavy. If you would like to participate in the mailing
list, drop the list a message, with subscribe in the subject line. Also
include a brief outline of your Christmas connection/interest and any research
problems you are having.

Subject: Christmas in Northern France before 1066
Greetings Listers,
I would be very grateful to know the THE FRENCH WORD FOR "CHRISTMAS" (if it existed in France prior to 1066).
CHRISTMAS (or Cristes Maes as it was spelt at that Medieval time) was the name for 25th December in the centuries
approx 300 to 1066. When it was written as a surname it became Crisetemesse or even Crystemaffe the 'f's are elongated 'S'es
I'm now trying to find any evidence of a person with this name as a member of William the Conqueror's invasion Army.
I would Google for it in Flanders and Northern France
There are little snippets of information to these facts that I have researched, but I have found NO indication in these
ancient documents of the use of CHRISTMAS as a name for a person and there maybe some indication that he was 'recruited'.
I would have thought that the name for the day must have appeared in documentation associated with CROWNING OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR
on Christmas day 1066. It did not appear as a surname, (as CRESTEMESSE) in documents that I have researched, till about 1083, when, for the first time
that I can find, Cristesmaes appeared in print in a Maedieval book. as a person's name. But after that the name began to appear quite often in Wills,
Subsidy Rolls, (a roll of taxable persons) in counties, especially in Kent and in PIPE ROLLS and in fighting men loyal to their lord. A Kentish Knight by
the name of Cristemaff jousted at the first tournament at Dunstable displaying his coat of arms. He was tilting (the name given for the encounter)
against one PEECHE.
There were also tournaments in Flanders. It is remarkable that the 1st World War in Flanders was the slaughter fields for so many soldiers
Four of my uncles who joined the NZ Army to go to this war 1/2 way around the world were killed in this war ! !
Here's looking forward to any help,
Kind regards,
Ray Christmas in New Zealand
