Trevor Cobeldick of New Zealand mailed to me his writings. I have
transcribed and added part of his book including photos and maps to our
site. His information confirms with my research that in 1708, a possible
variant, CABBADUCK, appeared in Newfoundland carried by a fishermen William
Cabbaduck.. It is uncertain whether this variant was taken from
Lincolnshire or Cornwall and Devon. It looks similar to CAPLEDYKE, one of
the variants recorded at the coastal village of Huttoft in Lincolnshire. Click

Recently someone copied the complete section of our Settlement pages and
reposted it word for word on the Internet. Obviously, I was not to happy
with this person, a total stranger. Therefore I am now adding a deterrent
to the pages to prevent copying and pasting. This feature can be a nuisance
but new drop down menus and next buttons on every page will make it easier
to navigate the site. If you want to copy anything on our site for personal use then simply
contact me for the solution..

For some time now I wanted to give you the option of Frames
or No Frames.
The left hand menu in Frames is a great way to get around the site. Now I

the site menu and will take some time to complete.

click on thumbnails instead of the slide show. Click on a photo then use
the arrows below the description to change the picture or use your back

photos and personal information on My Family.com before they could freeze
it and I have began uploading all the photos to our family album on this
site. You can now access your photos from our Index
