Hi Jason, Below I am sending three pages from the old Edwards family Bible. It is the best I can do for the present.

As for the James side of the family: My father called himself a salesman. His father taught in an agricultural school in Connecticut. He came from Florence Italy and was a Waldense, I am told. My grandmother James came from Whales. I met her one time. Grandfather James died before I was born. When grandfather became an American citizen, he took an English name as was the custom in those days. The name of James! I hope this helps you. Grandpa

I have contacted somone at the DAR, but I havn't heard back from them yet. I will let you know what I find out though. What have you researched about your side of the family? Do you have any of it on the computer or is it all written down? If you have it on the computer, could you email it to me? If not I would be happy to enter what you have. I have emailed the owner of the family tree I gave you the link to and asked the same question, hopefully they will be willing to share.

It has about 1000+ people in our family, mostly grandma's and upward. Goes back about 7 generations on the birkett site.

Maud Hall was her married name. Her husband was either Edwin or Edward Hall, a graduate of MIT and former legislator in Massachusetts in the late 1940's. A Republican. They lived at 65 Mt Auburn Street,Watertown, MA Aunt Maud died in August 1950.

Tell your mother my operation was postponed until ??? The doctor could only work on one operation on March 16. I have requested a new date for the last week of March, or even May as I should go to Japan in April.

Your uncle Jonathan and Aunt Dawn are scheduled to leave Japan for Los Angles on April 27. They will pick up their car and travel east on I-10.

Maybe you can see them when they go through Phoenix. -Grandpa

It's nice to hear from you Jason. I am glad to talk but must ask that you wait about a week. I am getting ready for a hernia operation on Wednesday, March 16. A friend will bring me home afterwards.

By the way, your great, great, great aunt Maud Whiteton Hall was a member of The Daugther's of the American Revolution. That means that your mother can be a member too. All members living and dead have a number. I don't know the number my great aunt had. Almost everything can be proven with the number. You and Jeremy would then be able to join The Sons of The American Revolution.

It's also possible to do the same through your great great grandfather William Hadley Edwards. I am told we are also related to Jonathan Edwards. I felt impressed to name your uncle Jonathan Edwards James.

I too am interested in the family tree. I will let you know when we can talk. Grandpa

PS: Aunt Carol has done searching the Birkett family. Her e-mail address is [email protected]

This is Jason. I just wanted to see how you are doing, and to ask you a question. I want to put togeather and start researching the family tree, could I call you sometime and talk to you about what you know?

If so when should I call you, and what number should I call you?

       I

hope you are having a good day.
