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!
