Laurie Davis posted a blog postGathering...
I am happy to say that there will be a big family gathering in Maine this fall! Everyone who can will be heading to the family homestead and I hope to meet many cousins who I do not know. Between now and then I will be polishing up my genealogy work and hopefully filling in a few blanks, solving a mystery or two. Of course a few extra days added on to the trek to do some research!See More

Laurie Davis posted a blog postA nice surprise...
not at all related to Maine but I needed to share...I have a big tree on Ancestry, pay the fee and am working on several branches that go back to Ireland. My paternal grandmother married a nice "maine boy" but really had no family of her own as various disease made her an orphan as a young child. Her inlaws and my grandfather's family in Maine made her one of their own.I have been trying to find more about her paternal Irish immigrant family - a real challenge. Her maternal family was little…See More

Anyway, you are one of those little leaves now and you're gonna be a jewel for so many, cousin. I will check GenForum's NB…"
Laurie Davis commented on Laurie Davis's blog post 'It is Official'"I think the hardest thing has been finding the women...most records are all about the married name, not the maiden name. Have you contacted any boards for New Brunswick??? Yahoo and GenForum might yield some help looking up there. On my mothers side…"
Sharyn Carpenter Herian commented on Laurie Davis's blog post 'It is Official'"Yes, such a small world in genealogy. My mother's line, CLOW is also Loyalist and some in my dad's line too.
Hers came to NY 1773 and then went to Ontario before ending up in Illinois on their way to MN. I love the unexpected…"
Laurie Davis commented on Laurie Davis's blog post 'It is Official'"Don't you just love when those little leaves show up and it is a jewel??? ;)
