The Haig Family Home Page

There are a number of branches I am researching:

Ezra junior and remaining family in Vermont. I have inscriptions of Slater family members including Ezra junior from the cemetery in Essex Junction, Vt.

Hawley - Vermont and Connecticut USA (originally Derbyshire, UK)- back to Joseph Hawley b 1603 in Parwich, Derbyshire. Have researched Hawley name in Derbyshire in 16th Century. See below for details.

Raine - Vermont, USA (via Montreal,Canada from Scotland) - back to William Raine b 1839, possibly in Glasgow, emigrated to Canada.

I am willing to share information on all the above and would love to hear from anyone who has any further details.




WHERE IS THE DERBYSHIRE FAMILY OF JOSEPH HAWLEY (1603)?
- a challenge

I have written an article and listed some parish register information on the question above, but it will not all fit on this page, so I cannot include it. I don't have the answer to who is Joseph's father, but some ideas! As long as I am not inundated, I will send the WORD97 documents by email to those who want to see them.
