Am looking for anyone who could help expand my Family GEDCOM for the above Family Surnames. My direct family line surname is NOCK, which I have traced back to 1585. The above families lived and worked in the Black Country Region mainly centered in the Rowley Regis area and were Chain and Nail Makers. I have found that my GGrandfather "Titus NOCK" and a few of his Chainmaking friends were involved with a German scheme to learn how to make Chain back in 1906 and caused quite a stir in the region. I would be happy to hear from anyone with any ties to the above Surnames and would be more than happy to share any info I may have.
Thanks.....Dave in the USA
