mace

[jbquaintance]

Thank you so much for this site. ???I am a "mace" trying to put all the pieces together.MY first Mace I have found was born 1652 , Isle of Shoals.After that it rolls through Maine, Massachuettes, New Hamphire, Vermont, New York, and Pennslyvania.Now folks I have this great grandfather who, well to be truthful was a bigamist or was married alot in different states.This alone confuses the heck out of me trying to trace people as each census he is married to someone else....with kids up the wahzoo...Any suggestions? ;D A funny note, some of my relatives were poor fishermen and sold liquor on Sundays to get money ...one had to put his boat and inn up for bail..hey it put food on the table...I also have all these legal papers my father willed me, they are a gem to go through.I originally started way back with William de la Ferte Mace but got lost in England.I am sorry to rattle on, but I am so excited by this site.

Hello ... and Welcome

Hopefully we will be able to fill in those missing gaps when your ancestors hit England.

Meantime, I am hosting your grandfather's ( James E Mace ) death certificate in the hope others will be able to decipher the handwriting to read the maiden name of his wife, Hattie / Henrietta.

So, can anybody help ... suggestions more than welcome.

Neil



... and a closer look ...

Hi all you Maces
It's Jill, I've had a try at deciphering that maiden name but I think you could do with Jean-François Champollion Esq.personally and I'm not at all sure that he could do the job either. But, here goes anyway both André and I think it could be Ersaw. I'd love to know when you manage to crack it.
