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.

Tennis Anybody? Wordless Wednesday

My mother and her sister in their back yard. Probably early 1930s.

I absolutely love this photograph. There's something so classic about tennis as a ladies sport. :)

Great photo. They are dressed so sweetly, those rackets look almost as big as they are!

My mother played tennis for many years, my mother moved on to fencing at college and many other sports. My aunt was a top amateur swimmer in her late 70s. Imagine playing in a dress, but I guess they did. Thanks for your comments.

This is a great photo! Is your mom the little girl on the left?
