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.

I have not had a chance to visit the Old Hurley Burying Ground yet - I am pretty certain that Matthys Ten Eyck is my 10th great-grandfather.

Tom,
I need to put in that he is my 7th great-grandfather (hey, I am still new at this). Check out your line, if it is the same person, then we are cousins. I have this line on both my parent's side. So there will be a lot posted about this line.
