We hope to go there this summer to do some more research and look around at our ancestor's homesteads. There is a ton of info online. Stop by my genealogy blog and you might even find some resources to get you started. http://familyhistory.wordpress.com.Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-36132042309193554422012-05-06T21:55:09.104-07:002012-05-06T21:55:09.104-07:00No one can really compare to Laura's Red Shirt...No one can really compare to Laura's Red Shirt, but Yiska is an interesting character I think you'll find.

Love that thought!! New England is certainly historically rich and beautiful. I'd love to go back myself.<br /><br />Carla, love that your heart is overflowing - mine, too!

When I saw that you're a descendent of early colonials, I got excited. :) My ancestor, Samuel Hubbard, immigrated to Salem, Massachusetts from Suffolk, England in 1633 and his daughter, Ruth Hubbard, was the first white child born in Springfield, Mass. I have a rich ancestral tie to New England, but I am a Midwestern girl, born and raised in Minnesota. I had a chance to visit New England a few years ago, but I wasn't able to do any family research (the trip was too short). :( I dream of going and spending some time just researching and soaking in New England, it is so beautiful. <br /><br />Your story sounds amazing! I'm so happy Laura introduced you today.

I was so amazed to learn how undeveloped the land in that area was even as late as 1875 (when my story is set). I felt like I was on a journey of my own as I adventured through my resources. I hope you'll enjoy the book!Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.com
