Welcome to my Genealogy Blog.

Why not spend a minute or two at my Blog to see if there is anything interesting to read. Perhaps I've written something about your ancestor, gave a hint on how to locate something, provided a different way to do research, or just gave a glimpse into the world of genealogy research through words or photos. I try to make it light and enjoyable.

My roots are from New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wyoming, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

I also have a blog called Seeing New England. Why not visit it, to get a feeling for the area.

A County-by-County look at Ancestry

 
This map has been shared many times since July 1, 2004, and it is in pretty rough shape.  However, I thought it might be interesting to some of the readers.  You could almost trace your ancestry.

Thanks, I enjoyed this. I had not seen it. I was wondering as I looked at the legend as to how was it your ancestry in the US would be American. Then I read further on how questions were answered; many don't know and don't care I guess.
Thanks

Hummer, Thanks for the comment. I am glad you saw this, and that is one reason I've kept it for over six years. It could be a tool used in tracing one's ancestors.
