2. Re: Devon Family History Society [1]
To Howard and all..!! Though I agree it is good to see that the DFHS have done *something* about using the Internet, their first step has been a *very* small one (not even an e-mail address!) and extremely conservative in what is being provided. There is still no intimation that any reserach-type info will be provided on-line. Although I hate to be cynical, it appears to me that what has been put up is just to pacify those members who have made some noises...the truth will be found over the next 12 months
3. Re: Virtual Research (re: DFHS) [1]
Hello Everyone... e-mails from "George", Richard Whitchurch-Bennett and some comments from others give, of course, the other side of the DFHS story in that what the Society have achieved has been remarkable, and, indeed, has been a work of love. It would seem to me that perhaps what really has happened is that the Society has been so overwhelmed by its own success that it's lost a certain amount of vision. Brian and Richard (W-B) point out the need for diplomacy, and I am very happy to go with that; altho

Hello everyone,...............Below is the text of the letter I sent to the Sec., DFHS (with enclosed notes from the List), for your information. The letter was sent a little later than I hoped, but it should be there in time for the AGM. Very best wishes, John.

9. Re: Research Records [1]
Hello Chris! The main office is at Exeter (plus the West Country Studies Library), but there are (as you thought) regional offices in Barnstaple and also Plymouth that hold records for their own regions. i.e. if you have family spread over all 3 regions, then visits to all will be necessary. Best regards, John.

10. Re: Virtual Research (re: DFHS) [1]
Thanks a lot for your comment, Heather........since I sent out my suggestion, I've been thinking that perhaps what may be a good idea (for readability) is to merge what seem to be the essential points of everyone's input (as quotes), and to publish it on the List for acceptability, before I send it off. I would put it on to my webpage, but I'm in the process of moving house and everything is packed away....including my website password!! I'm *very* open to suggestions.... John.

May I say that I am thoroughly enjoying the input of so many virtual and non-virtual researchers..........only thing is, are any officers of the DFHS reading what's being said? Would you all mind if (after another couple of days) I print off all that's been said and send it on to the DFHS secretary?? Meanwhile, I am looking forward to reading more comment...!!

14. Re: Acland, Sir John d. 183? [1]
Deb, Acland is a well-known Devon family, and a book "Acland - A Devon Family" was published a few years ago by Phillimore, but, sadly, I understand it is now out of print. I have seen the Acland family name in Chanter & Wainwight's "Barnstaple Records" (pub'd. ca. 1900) going back to the 1200s, and Sir T.D. Acland was an M.P. in 1881. That's about all I know for the time being... Best wishes, John. At 21:10 12/9/98 +1000, you wrote: >I believe that the ACLAND baronets are associated with Devon, and I

James I am not sure this is a coincidence or not but a customer of mine (Tony Lentern) is also searching for lost Lenterns. I will give him a hardcopy of this message. He may want to get back to you.

At 21:25 12/9/98 +0100, "George" wrote a wonderful defence of the DFHS. About its worthiness in terms of what it does, THAT IS IN NO DOUBT whatsoever!! ............. :-)) ....but it is pretty obvious that it's officers have not been very adept in how to treat those with (may I say it?) somewhat greater ambitions, and those (and there are MANY) who research from some distance away...

23. TAVISTOCK DETACHMENT [0.971987]
Hi All I am researching my great grandfather's family of RUTHERFORD. Robert was actually born in Dover but pops up in Devon when he married Jane Newcombe ROWE on 25.12.1872 at Tavistock. Robert had a job as an instructor at Dartmoor Prison and I wonder if anyone could tell me now I might find out a bit more about Dartmoor. He was also a Private in the Tavistock Detachment of the Prince of Wales Rifle Volunteers and received a very nice reference when he left them to emigrate to NZ with his family in 188
