I am interested in hearing from anyone who believes that he/she
is a descendant of Hugh Bronte (Brunty/Branty/Prunty), the
grandfather of the Bronte sisters. (authors of Jane Eyre,
Wuthering Heights, etc)  None of the sisters had children, so
the nearest relative would be a cousin.

For the record, I believe that I am first-cousin-four-times-removed
via William Bronte, one of Hugh's sons. The last of my ancestors
bearing the Bronte name was Catherine Jane Bronte, b. 6 Jan 1863
in Dramoor, Ireland.

As a test, can your news reader handle the umlaut (") in Brontk.
It looks fine in Arial and Courier.   --->------>------>------~
