Susan

I am familiar with the names Field, Hobby and Rope, being descended from
Mary Rope and John Michael Ryan. I know a little of the Fields and
Chalkers and of Mary's Thomas Hobby. I would like to compare materials.
Please write to me. I would like to know your line of descent.

Look forward to hearing from you.


Chris
