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.

Today I was presented the "Ancestors Approved" award by Lori at Genealogy & Me.

As a recipient of this award I’m supposed to list ten things I have learned about any of my ancestors that has surprised, humbled, or enlightened me and pass along the award to ten other bloggers who I feel are doing their ancestors proud.

I have chosen to present you with the award. You can pick up the picture of the award on my blog post at

Thanks for sharing your ancestor stories!

Hi Texicanwife, Thank you so much for the "Ancestors Approved" award. I am moved, especially because it comes from somebody new to me. I am now your follower and look forward learning from you. Again thank you.

It is unfortunate that the census asks so little; would that they were a little more conscientious about collecting facts, not just for a count, but for future generations to look back and better understand their ancestors!

Wendy, I think we all agree with you. Do you have to do one also?
