On January 8, 2006, David J Grimshaw responded to an e-mail offering to post his additional information on these family lines on the "Grimshaw Origins" website. His response is shown below. Note the important websites that David has posted on his "Grimason" family of origin.
Hi Thomas,
As yet there is no website that has this information plus the extra information that I have on some lines of these families. I note that there is no ability to post this info on your site either. I will have a look at my Yahoo account and see if I can set up a web page with what I have posted on line so far.
