Research questions:
WHO WERE THOMAS & JANE’S ANCESTORS?
WHERE IS THE “BOURNE” REFERRED TO IN THE ORIGINAL FAMILY NARRATIVE? OTHER FAMILY MYTHS FROM THE OFN?
WERE OUR PEARCES RELATED TO OTHERS IN EARLY WESTERN PA-JERSEY SETTLEMENT, PITTSBURGH, NORTH PARK, AND NEARBY BUTLER CO?
ARE WE RELATED TO OTHER PEARCES IN THE WEST (MORMONS & CALIFORNIA)?
Newly discovered resources:
“BAPTISMS, BROMHAM, WILTSHIRE, 1775-1799”
A VAST ARRAY OF FASCINATING INFO BY GOOGLING “PEARCE FAMILY” FROM ROLLER COASTERS TO FIREARMS, GLASS TO ENTERTAINERS, ETC.
Articles begun:
EARLY & NOTABLE PEARCES OF EARLY WESTERN PA,
WHEN THE SUN TURNED RED (1783) (Effect of weather on British Isles)
INTERMARRIAGES AMONG THE PEARCES AND ASSOCIATED FAMILIES.
Speculation:
THOMAS & JANE’S GRANDPARENTS WERE ALSO THOMAS & JANE AND THEY HAD 7 CHILDREN IN 12 YEARS, INCLUDING TWINS ALSO NAME THOMAS & JANE
