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.

Kyra Sedgwick and Long Hill Estate -- Sunday Sights

Beverly, Massachusetts
My husband and I just discovered this beautiful estate and found out it was owned by one of Kyra Sedgwick's direct ancestors (see information about Kyra). Beverly, MA is also the town of a number of my ancestors, see one example HERE. I loved the four lily ponds, and the grounds. Fortunately, it isn't too far, and I'll be going back in the fall.

I remember this estate from the Finding Your Roots episode that featured Kyra Sedgewick. Looking forward to your visit this fall.

I remember this well. When I lived in Beverly it wasn't open to the public. My aunt lived at 111 Essex Street, not far down the road, in Peter Woodbury's house. I hope you saw that house, too, while you were there! This part of Beverly had many summer estates, including the summer White House of President Taft. It looks like a great place to bring my Mom now that is is part of the Trustees of Reservations.
