18 Very Favorite Libraries (out of 100)

One of my goals has been to visit as many New England Libraries I can, for the purpose of finding out their resources for genealogy researchers. I usually take a lot of photos of their inside and provide information about the town The legend on the right side is not completed, but you can still see the libraries listed.

17 Georgia O'Keeffe All About Her in 3 Posts. (My 4th Cousin, Once Removed. Both my Parents are Related to Heer!)

In January 2018, I visited an exhibit called, Art, Image and Style, an excellent showing of Georgia O'Keeffe's life, artwork, and clothes. I wrote a blog about this visit, and you'll be able to see the pictures at Georgia O'Keeffe, The Website was a Gem, and Oh Her Clothes. At the time I always try to do some research on the topic prior to posting. Naturally, I checked out the website for the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. One of the things that interested me the most was the Timeline of her life, something genealogists should do, I believe. Both of my parents have the Ten Eyck line, and one has the Wyckoff line, both names mentioned in the first timeline entry for 1887. I felt I needed to share this information for those who might be interested.
