update of the History and Genealogy may be continued by myself or one of the major collaborators in this enterprise. Please see Appendix H for a list of people who have contributed their time and efforts in helping me produce this book. The same applies to photographs. I have selected some from among those that have survived in my family, and those supplied by other family members, but the distribution across the family has been strongly biased by this availability. As many as possible have been scanned onto a computer disk, and copies of laser-printer quality can be fairly easily provided, including some which have not been included in the book. I have been searching and collecting information about the family for some sixty years, both here in Australia and overseas on rare trips. There have been long periods when the papers have been put away and almost forgotten. A short history of my search appears in Appendix A. The family of John Belcher, and in particular his son William Belcher, has received most attention as most biographical information available to me applies to that family. However, a timeline covering the lives of the first and second generations is given at the end of this preface. Two histories have been written covering branches of the Floyd family, but other branches still require an author, as do both Joyce families. I hope that this book will inspire family historians among those branches. So, I present this book before you, so that you will know something of the past of this particular Belcher family and some of the related families descended from the five children of James Belcher, including the Joyces, the Floyds, the Cupitts and the Broughtons, with all its imperfections, and all its interest. iv
