The BRASSETT Family

Newsletter

Welcome to No 15 Newsletter

Well im now in my new flat and I thought it was time to get out another newsletter, I have to say from the start I have not been doing to much work on the tree of late, the new position at the football club has been taking up most of my time.

Things are clearing up a bit now so I can get back to the tree and update the web-site sometime over the next few weeks.

M a k i n g C o n t a c t

I received this email from Don, It looks to bring a lots of informatio together, so I was very interested, I hope to receive stuff from him soon. I will keep you all informed.

originally from East London.With the help of other members of the Brassett family , I have traced

a ) My family records back by birth , marriage and death certificates to a James William Hinds Brasset in 1798.He was a mariner in the Pool of London.

b) The Brassett family back to Tolworth , Surrey in 1560.

Attched to this email is also a profile sheet, its not anything serious so take it very light harted, I will put them on the web-site when next updated so don’t put anything on them you don’t want others to see.

he more I get the better and if you have a photo you can jpeg to me it would add to the fun. I have loads of pictures of my section when we were little they are all going on the site (that’s unless loads of money starts dropping through my letter box)

Send things through to profiles@brassett.net

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family Crest

I put this in the last newsletter and had no response so I'm doing it again as I know there is another crest out there somewhere,

While visiting Laurie and Judith he mentioned the crest may be different to the one we are using, if anyone has a different crest, I have heard of one in Green with Gold Stars, can they let me have a copy of it, email me and I will let you have my address if you need it.

Bits & Peices

Congratulations to Dinae and Paul Ellen who had a boy Adam Paul John Ellen born 22nd August 2002.

Debbie Clark went to Maidstone in Kent and jumped out of an aeroplane for charity she raised £240 for Barnardos.

I must admit jumping out of a plane 12,000 ft in the air is not for the faint hearted!!! it was terrifying and wouldn't do it again.... I'm proud that I actually went through with it.... I was free falling for about 5,000 ft... that lasted about 45 seconds and the rest with the parachute lasted about 4 minutes... I could never explain the fear of falling out of the aeroplane at 120 MPH with no control...

I might be able to get a photo, if I can scan it in I will and send it onto you.... me a fetching bright blue jump suite!!!!

I'm still waiting
