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.

These photos were taken this same week of 1999.  During this trip, I located 22 of my direct ancestor's tombstones.

On April 4, 2013, I received a complete listing of all those buried at Ploss Cemetery (I had used this booklet during my visit in 1999 to the Missisquoi Historical Society), and I'm delighted it is now online. The link:
