A Bridge to the Past |
Because of recent snow storms and being housebound, I've been going back to various tree lines, including this one, and I was surprised with how much new information I found. It was like Christmas. There were many New Hampshire documents online and so many of my unknowns were solved by looking at the images and the wonderful FindAGrave. If you read through, you'll see the town of Amherst, NH mentioned a lot, and in the future, I'll be going there for cemetery photos (most already online, so the search should be easy).
If you have this family, you already know there are many spellings other Seccomb. A side note, if you select "Restrict to Exact" on Ancestry.com, that is what you get. Fortunately, I checked Soundex and Phonetic matches as well. New spellings for this family were: Sacomb, Seacomb. Seacombe, Seccoinbe, Secomb, Secombe, Siccombe.
My direct lines are in All Caps. Feel free to write if you have any questions or anything to add.
