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.

Surprise! I'm related to Roger's son John who married Mary Blanchard. Her mother, Hannah Brackett is my 1st cousin 10 generations removed. Her grandparents, Peter and Rachel Bracket are my ancestors. The Derbys were a big family in Salem. When I lived in Beverly we had Derby neighbors.
