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.

Do you know why it says Lewis Jones AD 1640 on top? I have a Watertown ancestor, Lewis Jones who lived 1605 - 1684. I wonder if this is the same person?

Wendy, snazziest is a great word to describe it. Thanks. I have to go back and walk around, because there is another panel on it, and I'll need to see what it says, maybe abt. the Jones of 1640.
