Hi,

I'm looking for HERBERT pre 1800.  John Herbert m. Ann Hyatt/Hyett/Hyott cir.1771 in Cirencester.  Their children were Thomas, William and Susanna.

My direct ancester was Thomas Herbert (well at least I think he is the same one as his children had the same names as his brother and sister with Hyatt as a middle name) who turned up in Seaford, Sussex sometime end of 1700's (he was a sailor).

If anyone can help with the possible connection it would be appreciated.

I have a feeling that this type of Board would be more productive if the results were transferred to some sort of database - not necessarily searchable but in alphabetic order.
I see quite a few Shepherds, Bullocks, Smiths and Pearces here but I doubt if at the moment the possibilities of connections are good.

I agree with Hackstaple,  The layout of this forum makes searching big lists somewhat difficult.  An alphabetic list of names with birth dates, and then a form of contact to the owner of the name/tree/enquiry would be teriffic.

What we need is a mini-Surname Interest Table ~ where is Bob when you need him?

Maybe if we ask him very nicely...

Meanwhile, there is the SIT in place to keep us going!

Agreed, although we also have the "search rootschat" button at the top of the page . . .

I have spoken to Bob and he is agreeable in principle and time permitting (but especially time permitting!) to trying to make us a database.

What do we think we would want it to do?

Will post, as Bob suggested, on the SIT board and see what the consensus is.
