Hi folks, My name is Charles Spinks and I am a 10th-generation, direct descendant of Robert Spink of the Speedwell. He arrived in the mid-1600's. I have been working on this lineage off and on for about 13-14 yrs.. During the last couple/few years, I have been entertaining myself with the thought (event) of a "Spink/Spinks Family & Friends" get-together. Can't shake the distinct possibility that this could take shape and actually get off the ground. What I am doing initially is putting out some 'feelers' (if you will) to see how many of my relatives (however distant) would also be interested in the same. I have had the great opportunity to correspond with some of you on these boards, so some of you folks already know me. My email is Redfeennix@yahoo.com. Please note the two e's and the two n's to assure the email comes through. I want to thank all who have taken the time to read this posting and hope to hear from many of you. In the interim, have a great day. Charles
