Any help or information on these families, no matter how small would be very welcomed.

Sue. We have a great deal of common interest as my SWALLOW family came from The Hadhams. Keep a SWALLOW data_base_ as a research tool and about 100 or more of these are Little Hadham _base_d. Certainly recognise names in your listing.

We need to communicate off this list to facilitate exchanges. Contact me on swallow.john@gmail.com. One or two other individuals are also heavily into SWALLOW and I am seriously thinking of a more efficient way for us to keep exchanging the results of our efforts.

Look forward to hearing from you.
