Hi Jean,
In the course of researching the Chilson line, I have also sorted out the
Gilsons and Jillsons. One must -- since some record keepers confused the names!

for two weeks of research in Salt Lake City but would be happy to discuss these
families further when I return. I'm curious to know how you tie into the
Jillsons and Gilsons.

In 2004 I promised someone I would send data on my Ballou/Jillson line and I
would "tease it apart" from my Gilson lines in Groton MA.
I forgot who that was and I apologize; if it is still timely I would be able
to do it now. We are sorting books for the biennial sale at the Friends of
Public Library and I will have some desk time to tease these two lines apart....
and, ultimately, see if there is any connection ... Gilson/Jillson etc.
