Dear fellow Nutmeggers,
Would you mind checking your databases to see if there are any
Squier/Squire/Squires listed who had any tie whatsoever to Roxbury,
Southbury, Woodbury, South Britain, and the other nearby towns? These
folks seem to have been neglected terribly in Connecticut genealogy books
(even Woodbury's!), and I would love to be able to piece together as many
as I can.
Even if you know absolutely nothing about the Squire listed in your
database (married your fifth cousin twice removed in her

Hi--
Need information regarding the parents of Sarah BARNARD, possibly from
Nantucket, Massachusetts, who m. James STEELE of Hartford abt
1696-1700. They had a daughter, Mary, who m. Samuel GOODWIN, son of
Nathaniel Goodwin and Elizabeth PRATT of Hartford.
I have some tentative information that this Sarah may be the daughter of
Nathaniel Barnard (b. 15 Nov 1642; d. 3 Apr 1718; son of Thomas Barnard
and Ruth MACY) and Mary Barnard (daughter of Robert Barnard and Joanna
HARVEY). Nathaniel and Mary's othe
My gr grandfather Charles Frederick STAGE (originally may have been
STAIGER/STAGGER) worked in a brass factory in Waterbury, Fairfield, CT,
1870-1880. In 1886, Charles served on the first Board of Education for Der
Deutscher Schul-Verein, a German language school in Waterbury.
In 1880, sons William E. and Frederick William, relocated to Shelton,
Fairfield, CT. William ran a barber shop; Frederick worked with him. Some
time after 1903, Frederick and Cora moved to West Haven, New Haven, CT.

"Grandville, NY" is now "Granville, NY" (Washington, Co.)
I have two Ruscoe sisters, Esther and Mary Polly who both married
SQUIRES in VT. Esther and ? Squires had a son Azor b. 1786, and Mary
Polly married Jessa (Jesse)Squires. Mary Polly d. 8/19/1829 and lived
in VT. Don't have any thing else on these people, but thought this
might help. I do have much information on the Ruscoes and know that
they lived in Addison Co. VT. Also, Granville, NY is on the Vt-NY
border.

There was a Cone family from East Haddam, CT, I believe. You may want to look
at records from Middlesex County, CT. I am doing this from memory, but I
believe when I was looking at records for my line I noticed a large
contingency of Cone's in this area-perhaps also Haddam/Colchester, CT.

I'm looking for info on and ancestors of Michael Shea b:Jan 1840 according
to the US Census and his wife Bridget Dunn b:Apr 1844; both believed to

Hello,
I am hoping that someone can help me. I am looking for old family photos of
the Griswold, Jewett City area for use in a local history book. Any photos
would me highly appreciated and would be returned to the owner. Credit would

Thanks,

Hi Cheryl: I suspect that the Catholic connection doesn't have much to
do with your not being able to find the birth record you're looking for.
Are you looking for the birth of Braddock Kinne or spouse? Braddock was
an unusual name for a woman; have only seen it as a man's name, but I'm
not a naming specialist, either .
Think it has more to do with two things: 1) she was born elsewhere
(Quebec?, Ireland?) or 2) the birth wasn't recorded in town VR - even in
the early 1800's, lots of births still wer
After months of searching, I have finally been able to work my fifth
great-grandfather Comfort Eames' ancestry back one more generation to his
parents, John & Elizabeth "Betty" (Longbottom) EAMES.
I'm now trying to find the ancestry of John Eames. I've looked through the
Barbour Collection and through the LDS International Genealogical Index and
Ancestry Files with no definitive result. My next step is to post queries,
so...
Does anyone recognize this EAMES family from the Norwich/Lisbon, New London

In a message dated 98-05-09 05:35:47 EDT, you write:
<< Is there anyplace where I can find the regiment and company
for soldiers from New London who fought in the Civil War? >>
If you're near New London, go to the city hall. They have volumes of old
registers for Sailors and Soliders. Or try the Genealogy Room at the New
London Public library. If you can't get to New London, call the library and
(sometimes) they will be kind enough to look up the information for you and
then call you back.
Good luck,

As to "ACCURATE information," that depends on what is entered into it

Thanks for your review of TMG on the Connecticut List. I am considering
switching to TMG from FTM. I'd written privately to Roland to tell him how
disgusted I am with FTM's tech help. I've had FTM since last fall, and after
using PAF for years, it seemed such a step up from that klunky program, I
was delighted. But no longer.
