England / Re: Earl Dundonald....
« on: Thursday 24 December 09 16:43 GMT (UK)  »
For those who do not know, the Earl of Dundonald is Chief of the Clan and Name of Cochrane (which to date has over 80 variant spellings).

The 15th (and current) Earl is currently in the process of strengthening the Clan worldwide, and especially in the UK.  For those wishing to know more about the History of the Cochranes, the Clan website is www.clancochrane.org

 I deeply regret having to say this, but it looks like we're going to have to abandon plans for a Southeastern US meet :'( ! There simply has not been enough interest expressed to make it viable.
  If, sometime in the future, we can get enough interest sparked to justify the time expenditure of planning, etc., maybe we can try again.

... I just want to make sure we are planning what everyone wants. And for the most part, I didn't think there would be alot of people driving really far.

Kath,
  On the first part of that, we can agree. That's exactly why we're trying to get as much input as possible before locking down any kind of plans!!
  To the second part, you'd be very surprised just how far some folks here in the US would drive to meet friends they talk with online.

Kathy,
  I think what Rootie had in mind was for the benefit of those driving far enough that round trip, plus the meet, would be a bit much. I know more than about 300 miles in a day wears me out totally. For those near enough to the meeting place, hotel, etc would not be required.
  As I understand it, Rootie was thinking one day to drive out, RON near the meeting place, then drive back the next day (or possibly meet for the entire day, then drive home the next). .
  Just my understanding of what was said. Am I right??

Deb,
  It was my original idea to have a separate meet from the New England meet. After all, New York is a bit far from my neck of the woods for a day trip!
  Looks like the New England meet is going pretty well; but, some way somehow, we need to get a few more warm bodies interested in a Southeastern meet, IF we are going to have one. Any ideas??

  Deb,
     When is Dave supposed to be back in the States? That would give us some kind of time reference for planning purposes.

 All,
    Since there seems to be so few of us in the Southeastern US, what would you think about combining our meet with some others from a primarily US genealogy chat? At least one person I know from there is doing UK research (they keep wanting to get me doing Welsh research! :( ). Maybe we can get a some of them on Rootschat!!
   Just a thought. What say you ??

  Let's see.... That makes 2 in Georgia, 2 in North Carolina, and 1 in Florida, that I know of. Correct, so far?? I'd have thought there'd be more of us, somehow!

   Any more Southeast interest??

  Okay, that takes care of the New England folks. What about a meet for those of us in the Southeastern US??
 Any interest??

  Any chance these GODDARDs connect to the family of the same name in WILTS during the late 16th and early 17 centuries??
  Specificly, I have Bridget GODDARD (ca 1575-1654/55) daughter of Edward GODDARD and Mary KINGSMILL.
