Hello, from a newbie

Thank all of you for your lovely greetings. 

Shirley,  my "one name society"  is actually the Bunting Society of the U.K.  I am descended from Buntings who were Quakers who left Matlock in the late 1600's and moved to Pennsylvania in the U.S.  I found all of this out tracing my ancestry which was quite a surprise as I had no idea we had Quakers in our lineage and I have never even set foot in Pennsylvania.  To clarify, the Bunting Society is just that, a "one name society" of people with the name Bunting in their family tree.

Ray, I will probably be asking questions regarding travel to Long Buckby and Matlock on the travel forum.  I look forward to your input.

Hi Peggy.  Welcome from me too.  The Bunting Society sound like a lot of fun. 

Hi Peggy,

I would be happy to help where I can, just ask the questions. If I don't know the answers I will find  out for you.

Ray.

Hi Peggy and welcome to Poe from me too. Down south here is one area steeped in Quaker history at The Jordans where William Penn and his family are buried; close to the village of Penn and the larger town of Beaconsfield. Hope you enjoy your trip over here.
