May 2017 - Found a few Bisbee items. Photo of Jones Bisbee (1809-1874) and his family. If you can identify any of his children, please let me know. A promissory note from Moses Bisbee (1765-1852). And the family bible for Anna Bisbee (1806-1878). This bible itself is in pretty bad condition, but the pages with family data were in good shape. If you are a direct descendant of Anna Bisbee, let me know. I'd be happy to make arrangements to transfer possession.

January 2017 - From a conversation on Ancestry.com, I was made aware of a book called "Beyond the Blue Mountain: Bartholomew Pastoral Records." It includes births, baptisms, marriages, and funerals (deaths) conducted by Rev. Abraham Bartholomew. He served the area of Carbon, Lehigh, Schuylkill, and Northampton Counties from 1861-1903. Not much in the way of brand new information, but quality source material. I could finally put a full middle name to many that were previously only an initial.

24 June 2015 - Added new photos from Nathan Dean's Family Bible.

23 May 2015 - Made my first trip to Washington County, Georgia; home to the Bowen, Holt, Pritchard, and Turlington lines. I was glad to be able to clean several tombstones and take much better quality photos than those that have been circulating around different sites. BEST FIND: in a book called Pritchard Kin by Strick Newsome, there were photos of the tombstones for Thomas Turlington and his wife Mourning Smith. I had never seen these before. The photos were from the 50's and the site has since been turned into a field. I also got to meet Mr. Newsom. What a great man and family historian.

20 Jul 2014 - Ancestry.com recently added Pennsylvania death certificates to their collection. I've added over 100 of these high-quality, color images.

13 Jun 2014 - Acquired a deed from my 8th great uncle, Experience Damon, Jr (1693-1726) from Scituate.
