If I could only get over to the UK and down to my family in Dorset then Taunton would be good for me... Can't see it happening until summertime though...

There are quite a few members I know of that live in in Dorset and Hampshire, including Poole, Shaftesbury, Wimborne and Southampton.
I am researching the following families:
Hurst / Payne - Leicestershire / Warwickshire / Worcestershire
Toon(e) - Leicestershire
Batchelor / Foster - Warwickshire / Northamptonshire
Hardy - Dorset

My web site has the family tree showing.  I am researching primarily the Payne, Hurst, Foster and Batchelor lines in the Midlands.

Put me down as a possible...depends where & when.  But the Stateside one just sort of has the edge over Taunton & Bristol...if you know what I mean  ;)

Perhaps Bridgwater would be more attractive than the States then  ;)

I jest, it makes Taunton look more interesting  :)

Bridgwater is a small town between Taunton and Weston super Mare

Bridgwater or W-s-M is ok for me as I live in between them both. Burnham-on-Sea.
I know I do not say much on here but I would like to meet some of you

this is great folks

keep em coming

i live in Bridgwater, so we could have it at my house lol

on second thoughts


i will start looking for places, it seems Tauton is the prefered location at the mo, want to get somewhere nice, not too expensive, near the motorway/ train station and car parking.

this might mean i will have to research pubs in Taunton, but hey ho we all have to make sacrifices lol

These places are all so close, so why not bite the bullet and meet at Minehead - we could all go to Butlitz for the day  ;)
