STEPHEN HEMS OF CANADA have you read my previous messages. Hope to hear from you. Jeanette

Message for Stephen Hems in Canada. You visited us in Coventry several years ago when you flew to Birmingham and we later lost touch. Here we are again and I am trying to trace any information about my Grandparents namely Charles Hems but do not know christian name of my Grandmother. You may have this information or any other clues about their whereabouts or relatives from your Father. What were the names of your Father's brothers? Hope to hear from you Stephen.

Hi Adam Happy birthday Nan

Les - you have asked for information about your cousin Philip. Was he the son of Horace and Pat?

hey jazzy did u like the kiss i gave you?? =]]

Do any of you know the whereabouts of my cousin Philip Hems formerly of Birmingham. Father was Horace Hems.

My husband's family we think lived in Australia. My daughter Cathy Hems Shull is keen on tracing the Hems family. Her grandfather was born in Scotland and as a child came to the USA.

Hi Adam, nice site. Glad you found our humble little Yahoo group, not sure if you have visited the website yet, www.britishintexas.com.

I am the grandson of Frank Hems who lived in Smallheath Birmingham(Aubrey Road). He came to Canada after WW1 and I am curious if there is a connection to any other Hems' of the UK?

Another Hems here googling the name and came across your site. I noticed there are a lot of Hems' associated with Birmingham UK. Our family at the turn of the century was predominately from the Park Road or (Lane) area in Hockley. Is there anyone else's ancestors from that area?

I came across your profile on linkedin.com. We are a Microsoft Gold Partner. I noticed you are not interested in job offers, but I was wondering if you knew of anyone who might be? I love finding people work and welcome to help out any .NET developers who might be seeking new opportunities. Thanks Adam, Lynsey Moore

I am looking for a Hems that was of indian origin and lived in the U.K. he was also in the RAF. Are you familiar?

I found your site via friends re-united,good to see life has been good to you and your family. I have two girls myself aged 6 & 9,people have asked me as I'm sure they've asked you "wouldn't you like a son" to which I reply never. They are my little angels and wouldn't change that for the world. I've been happily married to Lisa for 14 years and have moved from Kingsclere to Fulham and then to Shefford (a small town in Herts not far from Bedford)and am currently an area sales manager for a specialist lighting company. It only seems like yesterday we were making crop circles with the cattle feeder in the field across from your old home. Are you in touch with any other people from those fun school days? Keep well and may you continue to tick things off your wish list.

Loved your site and could'nt get over how much you resemeble my son Gareth (Doutch). My father was Raymond Howard Hems of Birmingham. I have have done quite a bit of research inot the family so if you would like to take it alook please get in touch! - it is on-going but really enjoyable. If any other Hems wishes to contact me for this information I would be only to happy to past it on.

Welcome to the USA. I stumbled on your website while doing a search on the internet. Guess we're "neighbors". I like your website.

So glad you guys are finally legal. Now that Adam works for Microsoft, I can blame him for everything.

Congratulations on your three beautiful girls ;)Good job on everything... What more can you ask for? Stay cool and keeps posting the pics!

I was very interested to see your website. I would love to move to Florida one day !! It's good to read about someone who has already made their USA dream reality ! Especially with such a brilliant surname. Good Luck Mike. H

Hey Bro, Sis and nieces, just browsing your birthday pikkies to make sure you have more wrinkles than me! Looks a great cake. See you all for the 2004 trip soon...

Hi!

Thanks for visiting our beautiful island and bragging about it.

Just arrived at this excellent site. Obviously led here by a Google search for Hemses! Our 'Hems'history knowledge is very limited indeed and I would like to know more. My father - William John Leslie Hems was born in 1901 (into a family which finally grew to 13) in Kingswinford in the West Midlands of the UK. There is a reference on the internet to his grandfather (I think) who was the publican of The Little Pig. My father was a crystal glasscutter (alongside several brothers) and so was his father. One of my father's brothers -Reg - became a tree surgeon in the West Country and he claimed that the Hems family had been traced back to a stonemason who moved to the UK in the 18th century!

I have noticed that my e-mail address was mistyped. Now it is crrected so I look forward to hearing from you.

Excellent website.I liked pictures. Which camera do you have? Sorry I don't know you. I found your site on google and I'm impressed....

Fantastic site, lovely family, adorable kids -I'm envious. Happy New Year! May it bring you everything you would wish for yourselves. Give Jasmine and Daisy a hug from me! Oh and a little x each.

Hallo' hope you are well just tried to get in touch with victor John Hems (in your Guest book )the email address in your book is rejected do you have another one John

Where the hell is Andy? HE is a sexy beast and needs to be in more photo album pictures. Im for serious.

I just searched the name Hems to see what I could find. You've a great site here. Just in case there is any conection, I was born in 1944 in Birmingham (UK) and grew up in Handsworth. I am an only child and my father also lived in the Handsworth area as did his parents. He was the only male child, but he had some other famiy living in the same area. My wife Hatsue is Japanese and we have 2 boys James aged 16 and Edward aged 11. When we are in the UK we live in Cambridge. Let us know if you think there may be any conection. All the Best. One Hems family to another.

Wonderful Site! I enjoyed your pictures so much. The kids are really adoreable and you two make a really handsome couple. I hope you are enjoying America and will one day want to say We're American! Good luck in all that you do. Best Regards, Linda

Adam, all i have to say it WOW!! Amazing website great wife, great kids, just get a job. J/K. But seriously though, keep up the good work, and i would like to keep in touch if possible.

Dropped in after the seeing the link in Andy's ex-pat forum. I like the very uncluttered style of the site and the excelent photographs. My boys are the same ages as your girls. If we were closer they could double-date.

You have a very good photo album website with lots of pictures. My favorite pictures are the ones that were taken on the playgrounds, especially the two April 11, 2003 pictures of Chris showing his agility by climbing up the fireman's pole at the park in Stafford, Texas. Your kids Jasmine and Daisy have shown their athletic abilities on the playgrounds, such as swinging on the monkey bars and going down the slides. Can they climb up (and slide down) the poles? Please continue to add more photos (and perhaps some videos) to your website, especially of the kids playing at the playgrounds. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work!

Loved the site Adam. Great photos, lovely family. Carol

Excellent page, perhaps you can tie in a heart rate monitor or a ''Hems-cam'' next?
