The first was in 1913. 2009 Plan for Updating the Genealogy in “History of the Pidcock Family and Association Here is a three-phase plan for collecting the data we need to update the 1992 edition of the book: The “History of the Pidcock Family and Association” is specific to the descendants of Jonathan Pidcock (1729-1812) believed to be the grandson of John Pidcock who settled along the Delaware in 1678. Contact descendants with whom the Association has stayed in touch. Recruit two or three people in each branch willing to obtain essential information about family members in their respective branches. – Everyone at the May 2009 Reunion agreed to compile information for their branch. Your branch may not have been represented at that reunion, so we need YOUR help. Please do not assume we have contact information (email or snail mail) for your parents, children, siblings and cousins, ASK THEM. This information is chiefly: – Name of family member; – Date of birth; – Married (name of spouse & date of wedding); – Children (names & dates of birth); and – Date of death. Set a variety of deadlines for compiling the information, so that people taking part in the data collection drive would gather information gradually over the course of a year or 18 months and be asked to meet a number of different deadlines rather than one big deadline at the end. Proposed Dates: December 1, 2009: Family members (YOU, if descended from Jonathan Pidcock) reply by post to this letter or send email to pidcock2013 at yahoo.com letting us know the vital statistics for your immediate family, because we do NOT have you in our genealogy database. February 1, 2010: Family members (YOU, if descended from Jonathan Pidcock) reply by post to this letter or send email to pidcock2013 at yahoo.com with information about who in your branch, you can contact to verify or collect their information. This deadline is after Christmas, so you can work this project into your holiday plans and then have time during the slow months of the new year to put it together. May 1, 2010: Family members (YOU, if descended from Jonathan Pidcock)) reply by post to this letter or send email to pidcock2013 at yahoo.com with information you have collected about others in your branch. This deadline gives you time to try out the process and bring suggestions and lessons learned to our May 2010 reunion.  ******************************* On this site, some family history recounted at Reunions can be found on the Reunion Family Events & Places page. The Pidcock/Pitcock DNA  Project web site tells a great deal of family history while describing the mysteries it is trying to solve. The family genealogy book, "History of the Pidcock Family and Association", published 1992, gives detailed information about early Pidcocks. We have sold all the copies and are working on a revised version for our 100th anniversary (2012). The book records the following information: Names of self, spouse, parents, siblings and children. Dates of births, marriages and deaths. To update the genealogy, please contact the administrator: pidcock2013 at yahoo.com The Pidcock FamilyCommunity web site has a newsletter and places to share family history.
