FOREWORD

We are rolling right along! Eight volumes have now been completed, since we began this series about one and one half years ago. Many of you have indicated that you are enjoying these booklets. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your kind remarks.
Working on this series has been very rewarding for me in gaining new knowledge about my Featherston ancestors and their families. I hope that each of you are reaping these same rewards. Thanks to each of you who have submitted additional Featherston(e) names from your local phone books, etc.
Each of those individuals will be contacted at the earliest opportunity.
Let me remind you to please submit your Branch for publication, if you have not done so. This volume
presents the remaining BRANCHES that have been submitted up to this point.
Please continue to send in any Featherston(e) material that you wish to share with others.
Thank you for your support of this work.
Joyce Featherston Hawkins
