An Ancestor Who Arrived In Virginia February 24, 2016
Can this be true? I thought all my ancestors who came to America in the 1600’s came to New England. Now I have found two who came to Virginia. James Miller Sr and his wife Lady Janet Melvin arrived in Virginia in 1637. Will investigate this aberration further.

Weaving Through My Genealogy February 23, 2016
What a maze. I’m trying to document in particular the ancestors who came to America. Born in England and came to New England – Boston, Connecticut – in the 1600’s. There is a lot of information there – lots of documentation, lots of cemeteries! Trying to get my head around it all is a bit mind-boggling to say the least. I sometimes feel as if I am reinventing the wheel.
