Dear Alan, From another curmudgeon- I agree with your complaints and have
another that all genealogists can relate to: whatever happened to "Quiet in
the Library"? Toddlers racing and hollering through the reading room isn't
the only disturbance. In most of the libraries I've visited, the employees
talked loudly and set the tone for everyone else. In the few quiet
libraries, I make an effort to complement them. Welcome back Alan. And
isn't it grand to get home again? The older we get the more we love peace,
solitude and our own pillow(along with the computer!)
I've just fallen into a "gold mine". I found a Whitney researcher on
the MN website and she was in my line. She sent me a 15 page copy of the
"Recollections of Nancy Jane Morrow Whitney", daughter of Albion
Paris(William, Samuel, Abner, John, Isaiah, Thomas, John). She wove a
wonderful story of the family, with details of travels,physical
descriptions of folks and lots more. I am related to Albion, who was
brother to my ggGrandmother Nancy Whitney Eastman and to his wife Susan,
who was the neice of Nancy's husband, B.D. Eastman.. I am updating all my
data and am almost ready to forward all I have to Jon Aston and Robert
Ward. I am excited to finally find someone in my Whitney line and she
lives right there in Tiburon, MAL! Cheers, Jan
PS All you Maine researchers--check the new VR's for Augusta, Gardiner and
Hallowell and more coming soon. Anyone wishing for a particular towns, let
me know and I'll try to get those first.
