For those of you who, like me, are unfamiliar with the Flagg book I found this in the local on-line catalogue for my local library, Genealogical notes on the founding of New England. My ancestors part in that undertaking, by Ernest Flagg. Author: Flagg, Ernest, 1857- 3n Publisher: Hartford, The Case, Lockwood & Brainard Co., 1926. Paging 2 p. l., 3-440 p. plates., facsims., coats of arms. 26 cm. Notes "300 copies printed." Genealogical research is always ongoing. Publications dates are very important. From the comments made in regards the Flagg book, we can see that errors were discovered in the works of earlier writers. When one is using secondary sources, it is always important to check the sources the author of the secondary source used researching their work. To me, the on going discussion of the Peck family shows one of the strengths of a list of this type, and one of the reasons for it's existence. No one should ever feel intimidated about creating such a discussion or feel they have to apologize for doing so. Even if the family is not ours, we can all benefit from the discussions in some way. Participating in discussions such as this by contributing information from source material that sometimes can only be found here in CT has helped me develop my research skills and learn about genealogical research materials. This is helping me find information on my family lines in other parts of the country. Just the other day I learned that my paternal grandmother, born in Canada, has a family line that goes back to Massachusetts in the mid 1600's. Phi or Wilma, Will one of you please post the dates Flagg gives for the date of Deacon Paul's children. I have Names and dates from the Hale, House, book by Jacobus and Waterman, published in 1952, ready to post. If there are discrepancies, the Peck researchers need to know it. Marilyn Ct Sharing creates connections, Connections grow family trees.
