Included on the site is direct information on Genealogy with a family tree of over 8000 individuals, searchable by surname, individual name, or browsable by family. I also have Family Documents (photographs, letters and a diary) and Stories about individuals and my family history research processes.
Also, I appreciate any follow-up emails with additional information regarding branches of the family tree, but please understand that my primary interest is in my direct line and that I am unable to update the tree for all branches. I apologize to those to whom I cannot respond.

**David Ruggles, Lucy Elvina, Henry Watter, James Dwight, and Caroline Jain are all listed as the children of David and Lusia (Baley) Baker in Ashford, CT; Lusia may have died and David remarried before 1850 as he is then listed with Caroline (?) Baker; Alternatively, it may be a different family in the New Hartford, CT census. The only child in the 1850 census that matches the Ashford, CT children is Jane C. (matching to Caroline Jain). All of the other children would have been old enough to be out of the house. The 1840 census, however, has numbers which would match with all of the children that are currently known including the Ashford children and the children in the 1850 census.
