My name is Barb (Elwood) Tuinstra.  I just did a search for "Dawes Family Newsletter" as I used to subscribe and somehow lost track of it. Imagine my surprise when I found this sight!  How wonderful.  Now I just need to find the time to explore it.   I can trace my family back through my father Frederick Church Elwood, his father Lee W. Elwood, his father Franklin Dawes Elwood, and his mother Percey Elizabeth Dawes.  This Dawes Family sight takes it back the rest of the way.  I would be happy to try to fill in any information you need on the descendants of Percey or her son Franklin...   Thanks, Barb
