Would you be able to give me an idea of the amount of content there is for a few names? I don't want you spending lots of time transcribing. I live in northeastern Connecticut, so will be shut in with the same snow as you for the next two days. My ninth-great-grandfather was Governor Thomas WELLES of Connecticut. His daughter, Anne, married Thomas THOMPSON of Farmington. I also have direct connections to John STEELE, Stephen HART, and Thomas JUDD, all of which were founders of Hartford with Thomas Hooker. Thanks. Ken
