I have at last managed to get my American Silversmith Genealogy up on the web. The tree now links together 665 makers and includes their mark and career information as available. I invite those with an interest in early American makers to stop by and take a look:

I would appreciate hearing of any additions, corrections or general comments from our knowledgable readers.

Thank you from an amatuer collector. I noticed you were in need of a maker's mark for Savage
I have two pieces with the Savage mark on them that I can try to scan for you, I'm not sure what Savage they would be attributed to but maybe you can tell from the shape of the pieces.

Thank you all for your kind words.

For those who wish to make greater use of the information, I have added a link on the index page to a downloadable .exe file of the entire database. This self-contained viewer will allow very sophisticated searching and configuration of the data. Unfortunately, this will not work on Mac based systems. Please let me know if you find this useful or if any problems arise.
