When I started writing this blog 12 1/2 years ago, my intent was to write about all the ancestors I could locate on this side of the Atlantic, for both my husband and myself. About two years ago, I had written about most of the ancestors I had found (some I had names and approximate dates for, and if that's all I knew, I didn't write about them). So I turned to follow up posts, writing about the ancestor's family. These are not detailed posts, but I try to at least identify the children, how long they lived, their spouse or spouses and the spouse's parents, and if something really jumped out at me, a fact or two about their life. My interest was and is seeing how families intertwined, and also tying the family to specific incidents in the history of our country where possible. I intend to continue with that goal in mind, at some point.
In the meantime, I'm going to write a few, or maybe more than a few, posts about the new ancestors I've found since beginning this post. I have two new lines that go back several generations, and possibly another in husband's line. However, I am keeping one aspect of the modified format-I'll be posting once a week, rather than the twice a week I started with.
Friday's post will be a brief one, about the father of Lydia Goodenow Foster Corbett. Thank you for continuing to glance at or read my posts, and stay tuned as we venture back into colonial times.
