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.

Wordless Wednesday -- Bette Davis House




The house is located in Lowell, Massachusetts, about a mile from where I live. Since Bette Davis is one of my favorite actresses, I still love knowing that she lived in Lowell for less than two years. Please see Wikipedia article.

February 12, 2013. I have noticed a large number of people looking at this site, and while I'm delighted, I am just a bit curious. Since it is just a photo of her house and the plaque, I'm wondering if there is anything else you would like to see. Could you fill me in on why, during this week, so many of you are looking at it. Of course I am pleased. You could leave a comment here at the post or email me at: BarbaraPoole@Gmail.com.

Excellent choice for Wordless Wednesday! I doubt if, about this place, Bette would have said "What a dump!" Trivia: what movie was that line in?

I've been looking forward to posting this for a long time, and I'm glad you all enjoyed the photo.
"What a dump! From 'Beyond the Forest' [This line of dialogue would later reappear in the opening scene of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), delivered by Elizabeth Taylor"
