2. [MAESSEX] A word of warning [1]
Time for a precautionary warning. Scamming the genealogy community seems to be alive and well. I think the reason it thrives is because on the whole the genealogy community is so helpful, into sharing etc. and we tend to trust others into genealogy. The International Blacksheep Society of Genealogists has posted a Genealogy Hall of Shame. Take a look at http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/shame/promises.htm#angies This is a good page to bookmark, place on favorites, put in a file or however you handle UR

26 persons have joined the Bond DNA project so far. The results are being tabulated by Andrew Bond and can be see at - http://www.historicalgenetics.com/bondfamily.html . As the number of participants grows the combinations become more interesting. How a Bond of Kershaw County SC and Jones County GA (b about 1750) could relate to a Bond from Newbury, Essex County, MA is certainly an unexpected connection to be explored. As the data base grows the chances of finding unknown connections grow also. So if y

8. Re: [MAESSEX] Old style date question [1]
A minor point. The ORIGINAL record scribes did not have any ambiguity in their use of dates. It was NEVER -say- 1721/22 them. They knew which year it was. It is only the later transcribers who did not know. Sometimes, the uncertainty can be resolved. The Vital Record date for the death of one of my ancestors reads "Dec 16, 1721". (His wife died "Nov 19, 1721". Their eldest -and unmarried- son died "Dec 06, 1721". Presumably these three were afflicted by the same disease). Presumably his death date is a
9. Re: [MAESSEX] Jacob Elwell m. Abigail Vinson [1]
Billie, From History of Gloucester, Cape Ann by James Babson, 174 William Vinson was of Salem as early as 1635, but removed to this place on the first settlement of the town. He is called in the records "potmaker". By land grant and by purchase he became the owner of several plots of land; on one of which, probably, was the spring that perpetuates his name. He was also the orginal grantee of Five-Pound Island. He was admitted a freeman in 1643; and in 1646, and several times thereafter, was one of

11. [MAESSEX] Leap Years (was: Things that make you go hummm...) [1]
Hi all, As shown here: http://www.norbyhus.dk/calendar.html#England "Under the Julian Calendar, a year was a leap year if it was divisible by 4, _under_the_assumption_that_the_year_began_1_January_." (Also note that since the numbering of years based on the birth of Christ was established after the Julian calendar, it is just luck that every 4th year happens to be those that are divisible by 4.) Therefore, a valid date would be, for example, Feb. 29, 1703/4, for a calendar that was using March 25th as

15. Re: [MAESSEX] Finding Burial Site, Lucy Ann Hubbard [1]
Are you sure she is not in the cemetery? have you looked at the cemetery records or just visited the cemetery? Is it possible she might be in another part of the cemetery or buried in family plot without marker? I know this sometimes happens with small children, there may be no marker or it is small and gets covered over (or worse: stolen).

I posted an earlier message on Jennie S Robinson and recieved census information for 3 years for Lawerence,Essex, Massachusetts. The years were 1870 when she was living with her mother Martha A Robinson, 1880 when she was living with her spouse Frank Remick and the 1910 census. I have the marriage date of Feb. 4, 1873 for Frank Remick and Jennie Robinson. Is there anyone who may be doing marriage look-ups and will these records show the names of the parents? I can only hope that since Jennie is listed

An undated petition to the General Court in Newbury essentially denying that they supported John Emery's petition of May 5, 1663 to set aside a fine imposed on him for being convicted of entertaining Quakers, contains many names of first and 2nd generation residents of Newbury. Some, rather than using a first name, instead used a title such as Mr ., or a military title. One such person was "Sergeant Lunt." Can anyone identify this individual from Lunts named Henry senior, John, Daniel or Henry jun

Diana - Assuming that you own HISTORY OF GLOUCESTER, CAPE ANN by James Babson, would you look sometime to see if there are any members of the Twist/Twiss/Twisse or Blackman families in the early years there?

Hi Everyone, I was looking up some COLLINS marriage intentions for Lenore and I got carried away. There were so MANY COLLINS marriages in Lynn that one could just about put the whole family together by just using the marriage intentions (an exaggeration, of course!). Anyway, I thought maybe it would be worthwhile to type up all of the COLLINS marriage intentions and post them to everyone. I hope they will be of help to Lenore and others who are researching the COLLINS surname. Once again, my sourc
