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.

Treasure Chest Thursday -- My Father on the USS Yorktown


My mother wrote:  U.S. Navy - USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier

My father wrote the following:
April 2, 1944    In the Shop   Arrow to "my helmet"

L to R Top row.  W. Musson, N. Trepaskp, W. Rosenbaum, E. Hoegeman
Mid row:  C. Culbertson, R. Pagel, T. Mosbey, L. Goldsmith, C. McCarthy
Bottom row:  ? (my father)  Lt. J. O. Hatchet, J. Jones, Lt. G. H. Klans and J. McCormick

(There are probably errors, as he always had terrible penmanship. If anybody wants to make a correction, I would love to hear from you.)

 (It was interesting to see where he was in World War II.)
