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.

To think that this was what was once high-tech ... but it certainly has its own kind of beauty!

Love this! I'm about to dig into some late 19th/early 20th c. papers and suspect I'll be photographing very similar charts.

Now how cool is that?

I love it.

Jenna said...

That is very cool! So unique! Thanks for sharing.

Barbara Poole said...

Dee and Jenna, thanks. And, I agree, it is cool!

I descend from Samuel Chapman and Margaret Griswold and her parents are given incorrectly on that chart. They were John Griswold and Mary Bemis.

Martin, I have Samuel and Margaret as directs, and have the same parents as you. I surely wouldn't use the fan as a source! Thanks for pointing that out.
