Preston Bulletin Board
Current Bulletin Board, Inquiries from 4/8/2011 to ?????

I am getting a number of inquiries for help in locating Prestons. Unfortunately I can not provide much help most of the time. I am going to post inquiries on this page so that others can see them and perhaps provide some help. Also, if anyone wants to supply me with their line (PRESTONs) I will put up a page for that family. It would be nice if all the different lines could be linked, and perhaps someday most of them will. You can send me your inquiries by email at fpreston@suddenlink.net. If you do not want your inquiry posted, please tell me. If anyone can help, either contact me, Fred Preston, or contact the person entering the query. Actually, you could contact both of us that way I can enter the line on this page. If any of the people requesting information get help from this page I would like to know. You cannot post inquiries yourself, send them to me via email and I will post it.
