How to document Gwinnett research?
Well, I have another session at the Archives tonight on my Gwinnett research. I am considering some sort of publication, either a book or a web site, that involves the history of the Gwinnett family, combined with researching your ancestors in and around Gloucestershire - basically a how-to-do-it book. The latest version of ‘Gloucestershire Family History’ written by M E Richards and produced by the then Gloucestershire Record Office is 15 years old now and a lot has happened in genealogy since then. It has been mentioned a few times that it needs updating ….. So, my problem is threefold: do I write the family story from when the Gwinnetts arrived in Gloucestershire in the 16th century using documents to illustrate what can be found - the most logical way from the family point of view; do I begin with the most recent Gwinnett and work back though his family as one does when tracing ancestors; or do I take topics for research such as parish registers, probate, etc., and describe the family via that means? Any suggestions from those who have been along this route already? It’s all a bit overwhelming at the moment.
Hi
Have just found your posts on http://www.gloster.demon.co.uk and am very interested in what you have been finding out as am also researching the Gwinnutt/Gwinnett as am a decendant, my fathers brother did alot of research before he died a few years ago.

Hello,
My family are Gwinnett’s. My Grandad is trying to start off our family tree. We live in Cleveland in the North East of England. We haven’t got very far but we think we might be from your neck of the woods.
We would love to hear from you.
Thanks
Frances
Hello
I am Bill Forrester, a historian from Ahtens Georgia. I am starting research on a historical biography of Button Gwinnett, the Georgia signer of the Declaration of Independance, could you please send me your email addresses, I intend on doing a detailed background of his family in Glouchester, as well as his time as a merchant in Bristol, and his marriage in Wolverhaven. I will need alot of help with this portion of my study and any correspondance would be greatly appreciated. I would really appreciate any info.
