The stories is that young Edward was playing with the seal and the seal knocked him over accidentally and the boy must have hit his head and drowned. He was 8 years old and being a Burgess had to have been an excellent swimmer.

I've toured the granite vaults where their data is stored with a constant backup process in place and functioning. I'm impressed with the whole data storage system. https://familysearch.org/archives/about-granite-mountain/ Given that the images I put on my ancestors records on Tree are part of their data storage plan, I get the benefit of knowing the images will be there forever.Lee Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07887845471606058415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-35189169571902270542015-07-27T05:42:45.657-06:002015-07-27T05:42:45.657-06:00I completely understand your dilemma.

I have been trying to gather the genealogy information into books - published books and gift a copy to the person who might be interested. This does take up more space instead of less though because I keep a copy for myself. I have been able to let go of some hard copies after scanning because the place I got it should have the original.Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-26872638845285457672015-07-06T08:58:39.370-06:002015-07-06T08:58:39.370-06:00I have often thought of my untold number of hours ...I have often thought of my untold number of hours of genealogical work ending up in the trash.

War soldier who was too young to fight in the beginning of the conflict. He did however take his brother-in-law's musket and head for the fight at Bunker Hill. He, Moses, went on to join Ethan Allen. He was given bounty land in Farmington, Maine and settled there in abt. 1790. <br>Are you aware that the Thomas 1627 Chandler homestead is still standing in Andover, MA? It is privately owned so cannot be visited but can be viewed from the outside.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16411345524903634166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-18744361526785367072009-08-04T17:33:07.991-06:002009-08-04T17:33:07.991-06:00Fascinating!Fascinating!kbea831http://kbea831.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-55782090320244644292009-08-02T10:37:58.887-06:002009-08-02T10:37:58.887-06:00Patti,The Drew's were from England back to the...Patti,<br>The Drew's were from England back to the time of William the Conqueror.

I figure the average request cost me about $5 and 3 to 4 hours of my time, but I enjoyed it. After doing about 50 requests and only receiving 7 "thank yous" I decided if people couldn't take the 30 seconds it takes to respond to the notification that their request had been met then I was no longer going to answer requests.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043919406374487382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-66446383704687745002014-08-04T15:38:43.316-06:002014-08-04T15:38:43.316-06:00Another resource that has just "opened up&quo...Another resource that has just "opened up" in a big way is genealogy books in ebook format.<br /><br />Amazon recently introduced its Kindle Unlimited program, which allows you to borrow and read as many Kindle ebooks as you like, for $9.95 a month. I wonder if genealogists <br /><br />have grasped what a godsend KU may be. Here's why:<br /><br />In the genealogy section of the Kindle ebook store on Amazon, along with the how-to-climb-your-family-tree books, there's a huge number of reference and raw-data <br /><br />collections, from histories of specific families to ships' records, newspaper abstracts, etc. The problem with such books in the past has been that you didn't know until after you <br /><br />purchased one (whether a print or a digital copy) if it contained information relevant to your own research.<br /><br />With Kindle Unlimited, this pig-in-a-poke problem vanishes.<br /><br />Here's what you could do to further your research without gambling on books that may or may not have anything of use in them (to you). With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, <br /><br />you could borrow ten genealogy ebooks (the maximum allowed at one time). Then you could flip through them, or use your Kindle device's search feature, to find any <br /><br />information of use to you. If you don't find anything, then you can simply return them and borrow ten more.<br /><br />I know that these days, there are tons of information for ancestor hunters available for free or for a subscription fee at the dedicated genealogy websites such as Ancestry.com. <br /><br />But there's still a lot of data locked up in various small-press books and books by individuals writing their own family's story. Kindle Unlimited gives us genealogists a virtually <br /><br />cost-free way to unlock those books -- at least the ones that have been committed to ebook format (and you might be surprised how many there are).<br /><br />By the way, you don't even need a Kindle device to read Kindle books. You can download a free Kindle reading app for your smartphone or laptop that will do the trick. (Also <br /><br />BTW, I do NOT work for Amazon.)<br />Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02318030502299548271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632952351438454750.post-65709944219128720282013-12-06T19:49:48.402-07:002013-12-06T19:49:48.402-07:00Hello, I am also the 9th great- grandchild of
