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.

Tombstone Tuesday -- POOLE (2 generations) -- Washington, D.C.

Rock Creek Cemetery, Washington, D.C. is where two generations of my Poole line are buried.  I made a trip in May 2001, and my photos didn't come out, so my cousin David, of Maryland, went in December 2001 and took these pictures. Thank you David, my 3rd cousin, once removed.

Records from the Cemetery were quite thorough.  I ordered four different records, they were expensive and it took a very long time, over six weeks to receive them.
