Albany Tulip Festival then another time we drove to Normans Kill (River) where early Ten Eycks lived.

Albany Tulip Festival was with an AAA day trip by bus.

Getting into Albany was a breeze, no cars on the highway!

    `A couple of weeks after the Tulip Festival, we went to Normans Kill in New York to see where my early Dutch ancestors, the Ten Eycks, lived along the river of Normans Kill.

A Makeover for a 1660 No. Andover, Massachusetts Cemetery

The below cemetery has been visited, by me at least 15 times, as it is rather close by, and since I have ancestors there, my husband and I like to stroll through it.  The first two photos show what we always saw, lots of trees. Imagine our surprise earlier this year, when we saw that a number of trees had been removed.  Recently, we returned for another view of the cemetery.  This is where the Anne Dudley Bradstreet memorial is.  Note: Wikipedia's information for Andover has a lot of historical information as well as an impressive list of well-known former residents.

In June 2014, I communicated with a person from the North Andover Historical Society about my doing a post about their society. One of the most useful things I received was a A Digital Guide to the Old Burial Ground on Academy Road. (Scroll to the bottom for the database with photos and map.)
