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.

That is too funny. There are some days I don't get along with anybody, never mind myself! This is my only Irish line, gee maybe I should celebrate St. Patrick's day this year. Thank you for your comment.

Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day!

Heather, you are right!

Wow, what lovely tombstones, particularly the older ones. It is always so interesting to find that one line that stands out a bit as different, isn't it? We go along thinking all our ancestors are in Massachusetts or Connecticut and then - oop! We've got an immigrant ancestor from an unexpected place. And that's always welcome. :)

Wendy, I almost forgot about them being from another land. Imagine my surprise finding them marrying in Boston. Thanks for the comment.
