This site traces my New England heritage back 350 years through a number of surnames. I will try to include all source information where known, and will provide links to other sites when appropriate. Please remember that this is my best understanding of my ancestry. Errors may be present, and research continues to bring new information to light and correct long-standing errors. As always, genealogical information found on-line should be treated as a secondary source until independently verified by documentary evidence.

I do what I call "extended genealogy": I work to connect my major lines to other families who settled primarily in Massachusetts and Western Maine in the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. In this way I have further connected a few famous Mainers to my genealogical "web," so you can find folks like Sarah Orne Jewett and Stephen King if you poke around enough. Indeed, we're all, somehow, connected.

Each of the major surname links will take you to a page where you can access genealogical information, resources, and photographs related to that line. "Affiliated lines" will connect you directly to a genealogical index page in a new window.
