Welcome to the June issue of the "Belcher Blues". You have a good website on Belchers (in USA). I've recently commenced research into my family history so my children will know who their ancestors were. My great-great-grandfather Richard Belcher, emigrated to New Zealand from England in about 1857. As a bit of trival information, I can inform you that there are 182 Belcher's listed in the White Pages in New Zealand (Total Country Pop. about 3.8 million). Wellington, New Zealand Geoff Belcher What a great page. My great great grandfather on my fathers side was George Washington Belcher of Belcher Ky. My granddaughter, Mary used this site to do a report on her family tree for a class project. She had the most information in her class. Sterling Heights, Michigan Margaret Page Hi There, My mother, Bonnie June Shellnut (maiden name Belcher), emailed this site to me and to other family members. She is one of nine children born to William Edward Belcher and Joyce Matney originally from W.Va, they moved to Pike County, KY and eventually to Hazel Park, MI when my mom was a girl. My mom has five sisters, all of whom have 1-2 daughters. We refer to our strong matriarchal family as the Belcher babes. :-) I'll enjoy going through this site to see what connections we may have. Oxford, Michigan Heather Hillary Just wanted to say i really enjoy the newsletter. i was surprised to see the ratliff=church news, if you have any more info on them or the clevingers i would like to hear about it. i would also like any info on john churchs wife, i dont know anything at all about her and if you can put me in touch with some members of the church-? family i would really like to hear from them. thanks for this website I am a descendent of G.W.Belcher. My grandfather was also named G.W.Belcher. My mothers name is Goldie. My name is Emma Fields. My mother married Everett Ratliff. Sincerely, Emma Hello, I found your information on the Joseph Belcher (1704) fascinating. I wonder if you have any knowledge of a Belcher-Hunt connection in Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma in the mid to late 1800s? A Belcher was married to two Hunt sisters. There is a Hunt cemetery in Western Arkansas where they are supposed to be buried. The mother of the Belcher man was "full blood Cherokee" and they had an Indian wedding ceremony. Please let me know if any of this sounds familiar or if you know of anyone working on these lines in those areas. Sincerely, Barbara E Burrows I am searching for information on Hayes Belcher, father of Mary Frances Belcher. Mary was born in 1893 in Russell Cnty, VA. If you can guide me to a site with or provide dates and spouce of Hayes, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your time, Don I am decended from HG Belcher who is decended from George Belcher of the Elkhorn City area...you have an interesting web page. Good luck Donald Belcher Rogersville Tennessee Just love your beautiful web site and am hoping to locate information about Rameys from Johnson County and/or Floyd County, Kentucky. I'm specifically searching for Ludine or Ludinia Ramey born around 1880. Also, you may run across Virgie (McKenzie) Ramey married to son of Ludinia Ramey, Rev. Russell Ramey. Thanks again for your web site. Elaine N. Ramey My maiden name is Belcher, Floyd George Belcher was my father. He passed away February of 2002.
