The Squire Munro Project Newsletter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue #7 Winter 2007
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the newsletter for the Squire Munro Project — my attempt to compile a list of Squire Munro's descendants for eventual publication in a book.
This newsletter will keep you informed about my progress and circulate news and announcements to the extended family. Please feel free to forward it to any relatives who may be interested in receiving it. If you receive this email forwarded from a relative and would like to be added to my list, please email me. If for any reason you do not wish to receive future newsletters please let me know.
Descendant Update
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I started this project I had a list of about 500 names. Today, thanks to contributions of data from 30 different distant relatives, the count of listed descendant has reached an astonishing 2,064 names! Please continue to spread the word about my project to other family members who may be in touch with distant relatives with whom I have not yet corresponded.
Project Update
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the last two months, in addition to collecting information and purchasing historical books, I have been posting most of my "dead end" names to the surname boards at Ancestry.com. Hopefully, this will help even more distant cousins discover my project, contact me and contribute more data. Over 100 messages are now posted to 46 different surname boards.
I plan to spend the next couple of months preparing for 2 research trips later this year.
Obituary Notice
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 18, 2007, Thomas “Tim” H. Munro, III, 76 (1931-2007), of Syracuse, passed away at St. Joseph’s Hospital after a brief illness. His descent from Squire Munro is:
1) Squire Munro
2) David Munro
3) David Allen Munro
4) Thomas Hill Munro
5) Thomas Hill Munro
6) Thomas Hill Munro Jr.
7) Thomas Hill Munro III (1931-2007)
You can read the full obituary at this web page.
Note: According to my research it is not a mistake that he is "III" and not "IV". Apparently they skipped a generation before starting the generational suffix (Jr., III)
