John LINTON

Research Interests - November 1999

My genealogical research to date has mainly consisted of compiling information (mostly family trees) provided from within the family, but in recent times, I have begun to cast a wider net for more information and connections, primarily by simple searches of LDS records and through internet search engines.

My family lines come from UK/Europe, but are spread about, some being easy to trace, others not. Norway and Scotland have been relatively easy, but Germany (East) not so, and I have just begun to look into Wales and Ireland.

I have not been discriminatory in my name and link collecting, following the LDS view that a link is a link, however tenuous, although I have not researched the indirect lines. I continue to follow this policy and am interested in connecting with anyone sharing a common ancestor.

The following is a list of surnames that I am primarily interested in.
