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.

The Soldiers, the Runners and the Tourists




April is a busy month in Lexington and Boston. Instead of writing about the reasons, I'll show you in photos.
The famous swan boats begin operating in Boston.
State capitol gets visited more.
Boston Marathon Finish Line. Lots of runners, lots of tourists.
I was there last year and  saw a relative finish the race.
About 27,000 runners signed up to run the race on April 18, 2011.

Lexington photos taken two weeks ago, during a rehearsal for the "Battle of Lexington."
Lots of tourists show up for this too.

Good idea to see the rehearsal for the Battle. You won't have to stay up all night freezing and staking out a good spot for dawn! We went to the rehearsal for the 4th of July Esplanade concert in Boston and sat near the front no problem. No fireworks, but no crowds either!
