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.

Genealogy Reviews from Two Magazines


The two current (for March) magazines shown above have articles that might be of interest to some readers. As a lover of magazines, I often find bits of information pertaining to genealogy in them. Last night I found two.

It is without pleasure that the Entertainment Weekly magazine gave a review of “Who Do You Think You Are?” The write-up wasn't very good, but the rating of a D was pretty low. Considering this magazine is popular with TV viewers, it didn’t send a positive message to them, nor entice them to watch.

Smart Computing has an article, "Find it Online, Root out Your Family History." The magazine has always covered new genealogy products, so this wasn't a surprise. Covered are reviews of six genealogy sites, Dick Eastman's newsletter and Family Tree Builder.
