Rampton Family History Report of LaRaye Sheridan and Carol Merrell

29 March 2015

Written by Carol Merrell

Goals for March 2015

  1. To finish uploading our HRFA collection of English records associated with our Rampton Ancestors to Family Tree:

I was given permission to publish these Hampshire Parish Records of our ancestors on Family Tree by David Rymill, Archivist.  He stated, “If this is just a few pages that mention your ancestors (as opposed to significant proportions of whole registers) we wouldn’t have any problem with this.  A credit to Hampshire Record Office would be appreciated.”  

 

I am complying with their request and uploading documents associated with our direct line so as not to publish significant portions of the registers.  This project is still in progress. 

 

  1. To digitize Arlene Eakles’s research binders presented at the September 2013 HRFA Executive Meeting:

This project has been completed.  A copy is available to upload to our HRFA Website.

 

  1. To begin searching for the ancestors of John Robertson MacDuff:

Brian Butler, a MacDuff cousin, has opened a blog spot for John Robertson MacDuff Research Collaboration https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x0mzbt58ier7dr8/AAByPgaO6T9ksocQdNFpWlLya?dl=0

All are welcome to visit, browse, add information, and help with research projects. 

 

  1. To continue support of the Henry Rampton Book through editing.
  2. To collect DNA specimens of nearest descendants of Henry Rampton to help with future research on the Rampton, Dinwoodey, and MacDuff lines:  Fawn Jetta Beesley & John Robertson Rampton are the closest living descendants and have both agreed to participate in the DNA testing.  Fawn is the granddaughter of Henry & Frances Rampton; John is the grandson of Henry and Ada Alice Rampton.
