With the path of the eclipse of 2024 passing over my older brother's home, about an hour south of my younger brother's home, and about an hour north of my home, I decided to create this page to make note of solar eclipses that have passed close to the lives of my direct ancestors.

  • I am not sure which of my family was where during this time.
    • James Bradley and Grace Bradley were alive, but in Ireland. Their cousins (the McCloskeys and Mullens) came in 1810; but the Bradleys didn't come until 1844. This is, I think, my earliest ancestor in America.
  • Joseph Boisvert (1783-) and his family lived in St. François du Lac, in Lower Canada and would have seen a nice partial eclipse.
