| | About Me:\\ |
| | I am [[Contact Me|Jim Seymour]] from Hillsboro, Oregon, USA. While I have done no original research on the |
| | various Seymour families, I felt I had sufficient interest in the subject along with the |
| | computer skills to collate and present other people's research on the web. This site started |
| | as "The Seymour Immigration Page" back in 1999 and was migrated to the s560.com domain in 2007. |
| | I can also be found on [[http://Ancestry.com|Ancestry.com]] under the username "jdseymour". |
