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.

Tombstone Tuesday -- BALLARD

Josiah Ballard and his wife Sarah Carter Ballard, My 6th great grandparents.
Middle Cemetery, Lancaster, Worcester Co., Massachusetts

Josiah Ballard
Born: August 14, 1721, Andover, Essex Co., Massachusetts
Died: August 06, 1799, Lancaster, Worcester Co., Massachusetts
Josiah was a Revolutionary War Patriot

Sarah Carter Ballard
Born: November 10, 1725, Lancaster, Worcester Co., Massachusetts
Died: March 31, 1799, Lancaster, Worcester Co., Massachusetts


Normally, I don't do cemetery hunting in November in Massachusetts, it must have been a very warm day. The FindAGrave site for Josiah is: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=1425683&GRid=19553751


Also at the cemetery is their son, Jeremiah Ballard, which I didn't know about until 11/22/09.

Hi Diane, At last a person I know left a comment, feels nice. Thank you. Made great strides in finding information regarding that photo, and made a distant family connection. Will blog about it next week.
