Thank you for getting in touch.
Ri...Hi Melanie. <br /><br />Thank you for getting in touch. <br /><br />Richard Cates was my 8x great grandfather. I am descended from him twice, through Mary and Margaret Cates, two daughters of Richard's son, James. You can see charts of my two relationships to Richard Cates here: http://goo.gl/R89Ji (I'm the Living person at the bottom of each tree).<br /><br />There is a lot of information about our mutual Cates ancestors on my website, starting with the marriage of William Keate and Alice Veale at East Lulworth in 1641: http://goo.gl/vzPjN. As you will see, my site is far from complete but I am gradually uploading information and sources into the database. <br /><br />If you contact me using the form on my website, we can exchange further information by email and find out what number cousins we are!<br /><br />Incidentally, the timing of your comment was nothing short of amazing. I was actually looking at this very blogpost at the same time as you were writing your comment, having just been asked by the East Lulworth OPC for permission to use my transcript of Richard's will on his website. (Of course, I said yes.) I hit Send on my reply to him and notification of your comment immediately popped into my Inbox! <br /><br />Best wishes, <br /><br />CarolineCarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977450933277241692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612731037367610064.post-12940095742233242752012-01-10T20:27:13.558+00:002012-01-10T20:27:13.558+00:00Hello

I'm not from England but I sure enjoy the speech variations! Thanks for transcribing and sharing this wonderful document.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
