This is an interim update dated 22 December 2009 to this page and to a genealogy initally published in 2005. I am in the process of a complete rebuild of this website and of my personal website--but wanted to make a few corrections and additions pending that rebuild. I have removed the family tree display on this website--but you can access is on Roots Web at the following link: Brink-Day-Johnston-Fletcher Family Tree.
Our New World ancestors and relatives include both early European immigrants (earliest born @1550) and Native American ancestors (earliest born @ 1415). New World surnames include: Alden; Anderson; Blair; Bowling; Brink; Bullock; Carroll; Chandler; Coffin; Cosby; Cuthbertson; Day; Dickenson; Eades; Eaton; Fairbanks; Fletcher; Garland; Gillaspie; Greenleaf; Harris; Johnston; Jones; Kirtley; Lewis; Maupin; McAlester; McCotter; Merrill; Miller; Moore; Patterson; Powhattan; Randolph; Robinson; Simmons; Spencer; Stith; Rugg; Taylor; Tyler; Walker; Westlake; and Witherspoon. Our early immigrant families were located primarily in Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Pennsylvania and include a number of Plymouth and Jamestown Colony settlers.
Our database of ancestors and relatives in the Old World, begin with our New World immigrant ancestors and extend back to ancient and/or speculative Old World ancestors.

Note to Genealogists regarding our New World data: Our New World genealogies are generally well documented, including references from family documents, DAR records, published histories, etc. Most of the sources have been referenced in the GEDCOM file. Should you have questions, answers, corrections, etc., please feel free to e-mail Benjamin McAlester Brink (Ben) at ben@benbrink.com or Janet Louise Day Brink at janet@brinkfamily.net.
Note to Genealogists regarding our Old World Data: Our Old World genealogies are very extensive and are still definitely a work in progress. Some documentation is very good, some is spotty. Some family lines have been cleaned up, others are still being correlated with duplicative and sometimes contradictory trees, acquired mostly in electronic form. Some royal lines go back to antiquity, including ancestors from Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Israel, as well as early British and Norse lines. At some point in many of these lines, reality blends quietly into legend and fades to myth We are trying to make it clear where there is and is not good documented evidence, but this project is only just begun. Most of the sources have been referenced on the site and in the GEDCOM .zip file. Records without references are from our early work and references will be added in time. We upload corrections and additions on an irregular basis. Should you have questions, answers, corrections, etc., please feel free to e-mail Benjamin McAlester Brink (Ben) at ben@benbrink.com or Janet Louise Day Brink at janet@brinkfamily.net.
