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.

Out of the Blue came Julia Ann Jaquays

My great-grandparents

Julia Ann Jaquays parents were William Cross Jaquays and Lydia Johnson, both "brick walls." Photo probably taken in Frelighsburg or Dunham, Quebec, Canada.

My 2nd cousin who lives in Quebec forwarded this lovely photo via her mother-in-law (cousin's internet service is terrible). What a total surprise. You never know what you are going to get when you open an email.
