Thomas Tolman

We held the fall semi-annual meeting of the Thomas Tolman Family Organization on Oct 18. Fourteen of us attended, and I enjoyed meeting and discussing things with everyone.

News:
- We have 171 members this year. (Last year we had 269 by the end of the year, so we're low.)
- People have done hundreds of hours of work this year for the family.
- The Judson Tolman journals are ready to be published.
- The Benjamin Tolman history is in progress.
- We now have some histories posted online, and it's possible to purchase items and pay your membership online. We also have some pedigree charts from Nathan on back; we will post more, but the majority voted not to show the names of anyone living.
- Our genealogist Loraine gave some stories and discussed her research to find Thomas Tolman's parents in England. She wanted our help: she's asked everyone who can to dedicate their November fast to finding his links in the old world. Now is a great time to support her in this task because of the time and effort she and John have put into the search.

Good luck to Loraine, and to everyone else keeping the family connected and growing. Onwards and upwards!
