Biography

Descendant

A sense of family was instilled at an early age as some of my earliest memories are of accompanying my parents on Memorial Day as we took beautiful fresh-cut bouquets of seasonal flowers consisting of whatever was in bloom in Maine at that time, mostly tulips, daffodills, lilacs, apple blossoms and chokecherry blossoms, to the various gravesites, each visit a lesson in familial relationships. I heard the stories of how my early Holman grandparents came from Sutton, Massachusetts to Maine to settle what was once called Holmantown.

As a middle schooler, I had the wonderful experience of assisting the town librarian, Rachel Gates Kidder, as she recorded information from the gravestones of remote, old, sometimes overgrown cemeteries. I spent countless hours helping her clean and record the stones, clearing weeds and small trees from the gravesites.

A varied employment life experience taught me well how to record facts and how to "get in the weeds" to validate information, how to continue to search when most have given up. This proves invaluable when attempting to track down genealogical details. A love of reading leads me to finding odd bits of information as I read all sorts of books, reports, journals, etc.

I've learned that most of my work life involved basically following the footsteps of newly discovered family, often working in the exact neighborhoods where past grandparents lived in the 1700's, or learning of my connection to much studied historical events, not knowing my connection to the players of those events. Even a short work stint in Scotland took me to the exact spot where I now know an "umpteen" great grandfather lived.

Just one word to the wise, be fully prepared for the results of a DNA test as they can rock your world at a time when there are no elders left to provide answers. If you have any desire to learn about your family history, take the time to start early in your life when there are still people who can validate your findings. My one thing that I wish I could fix would be to advise users to be sure what they have for info is accurate and not to merge or attach source documents that simply have the same name, about the same date, etc., without ensuring it is the correct person. I cannot begin to guesstimate the amount of time I've spent untangling profiles of a person born and living in New England with a profile of a person of the same name living in England. And darn if I don't "get in the weeds" to correct all the info possible for those impacted so that my agenda is often thrown off course.

I'm always up for a trip to a cemetery or library to look for collaborating data.

Hi Marjorie: I suspect that your John Garneau-140

is a duplicate of my Jean Baptiste Grenon-216, spouse of Marie Augustine Labossiere-379. See what you think.

Best wishes, Jim LaBossiere

Thank you for letting me check your Fish Family tree. It does not intersect mine but it was helpful to see that I am not part of this tree and I will keep looking. Deborah Morris

Thank you Marjorie: you are absolutely correct, it should be "Brain" not "Brain"

Welcome to the Quakers Project, Marjorie. Please take a look at the project page and consider joining the discussion group. Enjoy!
Hi there! I see that we are 10th cousins once removed (so far). Thanks for participating in wikitree, there are still so many gaps! I also am working to fill in the gaps at www.familytree.com .

It is exciting to find family members since I was severely isolated as a child and knew very, very little of my parents living or deceased relatives.

Take care, Wendy in Western Maryland
