Hi Bec, it's been a bit quiet here recently, but thanks for connecting!

Interesting that you list the first of the line as James Ersham - having been to his grave in Wamphrey-Newton, I can attest that his gravestone is marked "James Ershman". I've attached a photograph from that expedition (the "Files" section of this group disappeared with some recent Google changes).

Looks our last common ancestor was John Earsman; I'm descended from his son William and Jane Gibson.

Hi Barry & Judy

Barry I discovered that photo of the headstone on ancestry & have added it ;-) Yes I misspelled Ershman lol & have since corrected it :-) Yes i wondered about the groups files ...read a few posts & was confused as to where the group files were :-/ Perhaps facebook would be a better family group connection idea. I have a Cunningham group for my fathers side of the family tree on facebook & it works well :-) Pictures etc can be added . Much easier to navigate aswell. If you are interested let me know ..I am happy to help out . If you already have a facebook page & would like to add me as a friend here is my facebook page link https://www.facebook.com/anzbex72 .

Judy ...Isn't it nice to find we are all related :-) I am so happy to find new family memebers no matter how distant . Thank you ...I will definitely add your info to my tree :-) I really appreciate you takng the time to add that info here for me :-)

Looking forward to helping & hearing from you both again soon :-)

There is a Facebook group but there isn't much interesting activity on there yet, apart from visitors remarking that they have an Earsman ancestor. The group is here:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/18949198376

I agree Facebook is easier to manage than Google Groups!
