Subject: [CHASE-L] A few ideas to get the group out of hibernation.
Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2004 22:37:51 -0800

All,
I have never known the Chase list to be so quiet so I thought I might dream up a few topics to get the thoughts moving away from the fog of Post Party Reriod.
Here are a couple I would be interested in.
1) What are we all doing with tghe mass of information we have gathered? We ought to be putting it into some coherent form such as
a) A hard Copy Book
b) A Cdrom/DVD
However I, and I am sure some others, have found or will find this not just daunting but difficult to decide precisely how. For my own part I have taken the same attitude as the Meander River of biblical reference and taken the course of least resistance, which also happened to be the most interesting line. i.e the CHASE/Hume line almost to the point of leaving my Mother's side out,(but not quite).
So you budding or experienced authors how about sharing with us how you have ,or propose to, set about this task.
If anyone knows of some really good books on the subject I would be interested.
In my next email I will say what I have done for part of my Chase descent. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is tieing it all together so that at all times it appears to lead to the ultimate namely....... YOU!

2) A second idea which I would hope will spark some interest and aid our learning would be to ask members of the Group to post there Genealogical "Wish List". I do not mean something really specific as" I cannot find my great grandfather" but more like" My Grandfather was a Seaman/Blacksmith/ or what have you", "Grandmother loved Quilting were there clubs or associations" ( In actual fact there were)., "Anybody know of a programme that will assemble my book as I want", ( I am positive someone will known that!).
Recently an Aussie Cousin asked me if I could find information on the ship his g.g,grandfather went to Australia on in 1865.
With a little luck I could as I live only 3 miles from the world's best Maritime Library at Greenwich. ( I even got a picture of a painting of the ship)
We ALL have some knowledge others do not posess let us see if we can share it better,

Well there you go
