Mr. Bjorkman, I'm not writing this to be critical, only to ask a question that is 'critical' to genealogy. I was always under the impression that when one did genealogy one began with oneself? How would one know where to 'attach' Ms. Abagail T. Baker from this 1662 to 1720, early, early, early, early genealogy? Also, there aren't even any Baker(s) presently included in this wonderful database...How will Mr. Mike Haskins begin to place either of these ancestors? Merely a question which is relevant, not meant to be testy or negative, but far from immaterial.

It is now on-line at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mabridge/mitchell/contents.html I have the Keith family in my database, but not in the 1800s. Maybe you can find your Francis Keith and Abagail Baker in the book. Gwen Boyer Bjorkman gwenbj@seanet.com
Hi Rhonda: You gave a great answer with your census records. I just thought people might like to know that this book is now on-line. I did check all through the Keith section and did not see Francis Keith. If you keep turning the page it does go up through the 1800s when the book was written. It is a great book and I bought a copy many years ago and have used it extensively. We need to get more of the New England Bakers in the Baker DNA test. We do have several that have signed on and I would suggest it for all of you with New England Baker ancestors. Be sure and check our website at: http://www.bakerdna.net Merry Christmas to all!!
