I'm back to researching the Chew Family and am still at roughly the same point I was 4 years ago. If anybody has any information on the mother or Father of Jabez Chew/Tew it would be of great help to me. Also thankyou to Keith for contacting me.

Hello Keith,

It may also be helpful to you if you put the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above to see if anyone else on this site has them in their tree. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner.

Also, if you would like help to fill in some of those gaps, why not start a thread of your own? Take a look at the Help Clinic - above left - for further info. Cx
