I have been researching my Ponting
Since this website has been published I have been contacted by a number of distant cousins who have allowed me to share their stories which has added significantly to the site. Where information has come from others I have tried to give credit in the text. I am happy for anyone to share information from this site, although an acknowledgement would be nice, and I would be very pleased to hear from anyone else interested in any aspect of this research, whether this is to share stories, correct errors or fill in gaps.
