"You look so, sitting out here in the rain
Studying genealogy with me
You never saw before.
What will we come to
With all this pride of ancestry, we Yankees?
I think we're all mad."
-Robert Frost, The Generations of Men, 1915

The flags represent some of the many places our ancestors came from.
Our page is migrating here; eventually you will see information about my New England and Northern New York ancestors: COLEs (descendants of James Cole of Plymouth); CUSHMANs, (Descendants of Robert CUSHMAN the Pilgrim); FARRs (descendants of (Captain) James FARR who moved from Vermont to DeKalb Junction, New York) and others.
Having recently heard from a FARR cousin, I got busy and did some reports and scanned some pictures of relatives in this line. Another FARR cousin (sort of) got me going, and I posted a bit of the ancestry of Czarina FARR Keyes.
Anne Miller has done rather extensive research on the Cushman line chronicled by Henry Wyles Cushman. She also has other genealogy pages.
Jim Dresser is trying to find all the DRESSER descendants he possibly can. He was able to link my Goshen, Massachusetts ancestors to his main Dresser line. Find out more at his DRESSER FAMILY WORLDWIDE GENEALOGY CENTER.
I recently contributed information about my first cousin 4 times removed, Rev. Amos DRESSER, to a webpage being run by Jim Flaherty. Jim posted this page, which consists of the transcription of the diary for 1862 of, as Jim tells it,
"This is the begining of a one year slice of the life of Lucy Orpha Parker Ward, wife of Erasmus Darwin (Dar) Ward who lived in the N.E corner of Ohio in what was then Lindenville, now called Wayne, in Ashtabula County."
Jim is researching all the names that appear in the diary. Rev. DRESSER was an abolitionist preacher who preached before Lucy's congregation. It's a fascinating page. Please visit it.
