I am delighted that SGS has elected me to be the Chief Genealogist. I come to this job with an open heart and open mind and I pledge to work very hard to increase our knowledge of Seeley genealogy and history through documentation. It has been agreed that the job description of the Chief Genealogist needs be changed in order to more accurately describe the position. For instance, genealogy queries, a presumed job of the Chief Genealogist, are being handled so expertly by our Query Editor Linda Crocker – nobody can do that better. So a committee has been formed to deal with this question.
They are:
* Document the Obadiah Seeley, SGS#4, line.
* Keep looking for and hopefully find the “smoking gun” to prove the relationship between the Obadiah Seeley in England and the Obadiah Seeley in New England.
* Locate a Seeley family presently living in England that is closely related to Obadiah, SGS#4, through DNA testing.
* Produce a documented history of Robert Seeley, SGS#1 including documents proving his death and burial.
* Follow up on two families identified in DNA testing, Augustus Seeley and William Seeley.
* Encourage DNA testing for additional Seeley individuals, especially those with unidentified lines.
