The lengths we go to....I traveled to West Stewartstown, NH (4 1/2 hrs north) this weekend to find information on my first Hodge ancestors that came from Scotland in the 1700s. I spent time in a couple libraries in the Great North Woods Region - very helpful library staff in Lancaster and Colebrook! I spent several freezing hours searching the cemeteries in Colebrook and West Stewartstown. Unfortunately no Scotland information mentioned. Having seen the old grave stones is like physical proof there was a body!! My body is achy but I have more info for my file that helps build the picture of who these people were.

We are beginning a genealogy club in Barrington, NH. It will meet on the first Wednesday of every month at 6pm at the Barrington Public Library. Anyone researching their family genealogy is invited. Come share your search, great finds, and items you need help with. We are at different levels of experience, but all share the excitement of finding out about our ancestors. Hopefully we'll have different strengths to make us a well-balanced group. |
