A new series of gifts with the Dalton coat of arms has been produced. The American end of the Society has helped to re-type the Leaning book, so that it can be reprinted in time for the millennium. Another project is to develop a pool of Daltons willing to look up records in their local area. The Webb page of Jim Wicks is noted as is Melanie Crain's Dalton News Letter. Nancy Samuelson's husband Reid makes progress after his car accident. Theckla Ledyard, using a researcher in Australia, has found her two long lost uncles, and Danny Paterno found his ancestors at Sliningford Hall, in Yorkshire. Is the name Jane Weightman in your family tree? If so, please contact Millicent. Rodney Dalton found he was a cousin of Arthur Whittaker through the internet and a similar connection was made between Shirley Lynn and Junwell Brantley. A similar mystery was solved for Lisa Liden by the GOONS. Mrs E. W. Dalton is starting a book on her Daltons and Robert Simpson found over 1000 family records on a recent trip to England. Lace makers went to New York about 1890 and some shoe makers from England went to Illinois about 1850.
