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.

Very nice pictures, Barbara. I must have you take me on a tour someday!! I've always been interested in those mills.

I so need to come up there to the Boston area again. Beautiful!

Who needs Rick Steves when there's Barbara Poole? The Lowell series seems especially good!

Hi Miss Great-Greats. I love Rick Steves, wish I could go along with him on one of his trips. But for now, my home town will have to do. Thanks for the nice complement. (Don't tell anybody, but there are more to come.)
