3477. Walter Elvin Christmas-1374
[WHT: Received from Walter Patrick Christmas on May 11, 2003.]Hi, I found your Christmas Family web page & found the information there very interesting-- you've done an excellent job at researching and presenting the information. I made a copy for my mother (Jane Davis Christmas, married to Walter Elvin Christmas) who has done a good deal of research on the family line-- her information appears to match with yours very well. My mother did say she had a couple of questions & possible corrections, but she prefers to use US mail since she's much more comfortable with it. I didn't see your post office mail address in your web page & I wondered if you'd be willing to provide it so I could send it to her. Just for background- I'm not a genealogist so forgive my nomenclature- I'm Walter Patrick Christmas, my father is Walter Elvin Christmas, his father was Walter Homer Christmas. My mother has researched back to Thomas Christmas, Sr. (b. ca 1695-- the info matches with your Thomas Cross Christmas-1). She was thrilled to see that your web page had taken our information back 2 more generations.
