Your readers might be interested in a book, "Good Morning, Mr. Featherstone?"
700 years of Perkinson Family History, by Eula Perkinson, with pictures and story of the Featherston Castle in Northumberland.
England. I have visited the castle and find the story well worth while to
read about it and the origin of (probably) all Featherston(e)s in North
America.
submitted by:
Lt. Col. (Ret.) and Mrs. Fred E. Featherstone, Jr.
My husband was Albert Pierce, son of Franklyn P. Featherston. Albert was born
July 28, 1888 and died July 21, 1963. All his children are girls. Franklyn
P. Featherston's father was James H. Featherston. Franklyn died July 3, 1933
in Houston, Texas.

The BRANCHES section of FEATHERSTON FINDINGS presents an opportunity for all of those interested in our heritage to record our direct descent. These BRANCHES are not confined to the spelling of Featherston, but may also include Featherstone, Featherstun, etc. If YOu have not yet sent in your BRANCH, please do so as soon as possible. I encourage you to take advantage of this FREE SERVICE.
These BRANCHES will be published in the order in which they are received or at my discretion. Every effort will be made to transcribe material exactly as it is submitted. However, if errors occur in this transcription process, please let me know, so I can make corrections in a future volume. If, while typing your lineage for publication, there is a doubt as to the spelling of your surname, the spelling of Featherston will be used.
These BRANCHES may be added to or corrected in future volumes. Therefore, it is not necessary to wait until you have completed your research before submitting your lineage for publication. Although we all may have best intentions of permanently recording our findings, too often the family historian passes away or becomes too ill to continue research work and those years of research are lost forever.
.,
By publishing your BRANCH and research material in FEATHERSTON FINDINGS you not only protect your family information, but help future researchers find their elusive family heritage.
You may submit your lineage in the form found in this section or you may submit the information on Family Group Sheets. It is not so important how you submit your lineage, but that you do submit it. Please cite your sources whenever possible.
If you find you are fortunate enough to connect with an established branch already in print, please let me know. The branches will be merged in a future volume, the earlier branch number will be maintained, and later number be eliminated. Perhaps we may eventually find a common ancestor and become one large family!
