Why not look into our Help Wanted pages to see if you can help provide that missing link which will unblock someone's research. Perhaps you need that bit of extra help yourself, then just drop a line to Webmaster.

EYGS is currently devising some simple tutorial pages to help beginners setting out on this fascinating quest to find your ancestral roots. Watch this space. When these are in place, we would welcome comments from you about their effectiveness.

More about the Sheriffs

Remember we posed a question about how many Brits became a sheriff in the USA? Click here for the details. We have had a reply from Barbara Wilkinson in Montana. She tells us how one of her great uncles, Robert Widdowfield who hailed from Durham UK, became a sheriff in Carbon, Wyoming. He was involved with the outlaw, Big Nose George, who was eventually the cause of Robert's death. Check out Big Nose George on the internet. I think we will do a summary of these events for publication in a future Phoenix. We now have two sheriffs. Are there any more out there?

Stop Press - EYGS has been contacted by a person in the USA who was born in Utica and knows of the Pickard family.
