Thank you, flea. I will try to find out if the local library has it.
Having traced my ancestors back to the Plymouth colony, I find that one of my forefather's other wives' first husband was (most likely) the forefather of a former coworker. Most interesting. And if I were to have to choose coworkers to have a randomly distant connection with, this guy would be on the short list.
I've tried to put together a family tree, but the software made it so exasperating it wasn't fun. Everyone could have only one first name and the middle name didn't show up, and it was really difficult to keep track of multiple marriages.

What software were you using? Family Tree Maker is pretty good.
How good is ancestry.com? I have a ton of info about both sides of my family and have always wanted to dig deeper. Is it worth the money?
I like slap disease better than fifth disease... fifth disease always seemed like such a dis.
We can't even bother to name you...
It's like my aunt, who was the eighth child, having no baby pictures. (Once she needed one for school and had to take one of her sister). Well, no individual baby pictures. I think they found one later though.

Which ones do you have? I have Endicotts and Lippincotts and Gaskill/Gaskoynes and Southards. No, the Southards are in New York, I think. I've got a lot of colonists.

In my opinion, yes. They've got a ton of records digitized, the search engine is pretty good, and if you want to, you can find other people who are researching the same ancestors you are.
I picked up my CSA today, and since I'm going to Maui tomorrow morning, I'm now roasting and freezing all of the things that can be roasted and frozen.
I'm reading a book that includes a lot about mass extinctions and plagues, and the author uses "decimate" over and over to mean "almost everything died." It makes me twitch.
