Research Stories

Deb's Tale: The night before I left-I got a call from Frank, who is the son of Solomon Swanborough's granddaughter [Mary Swanboro]!!!! I had gone to find Solomon's grave right after Easter, and seeing fresh flowers on it and some other Swanborough graves, I wrote a note and left it in an empty cassette case (don't laugh--it's all I could find in the landfill I call a car), hoping someone would find it and someone did!! So he gave me his mother's phone # and I called her and she was giving me so much info I couldn't write fast enough! So I made arrangements to visit her this week, etc. [written back in early summer]

Nigel's friend moved into a new home and his friend's neighbor was a Swansborough. He wrote and linked up another branch of the family!

Bonnie aided a Coalminer's Listserve person with a web address for looking up places to buy out-of-print books. The woman was researching the name "Edwards" so Bonnie sent her Deb's address as she has an Edwards line in her branch. Turns out the woman had worked with Isla in Wales who had a missing link to another Swansborough.
