Greetings, I've just returned to Oklahoma from a trip to Plymouth, Massachusetts where I enjoyed many clam and lobster rolls. I visited the Plymouth Public Library* and enjoyed talking with Beverly Ness, Lee Reagan about genealogy and Plymouth History. I also made a surprise visit to the Plymouth County Genealogy Society. I've communicated with this group for over three years and never met anyone. I joined the meeting and introduced myself and I'm glad the ladies were already sitting down. In my activities there I found a 1903 street map of Plymouth (7ft long)indicating the homeowners from Jabez Corner to Boundry Lne. I will do a lookup if you think your ancestor lived there in that time, I'll need their name and street address. It's not indexed. I also returned with the town reports from 1906 - 1989 the indicate births marriages and deaths for that period. Again I'll do lookups once I get squared away next month. Need the name, year and subject. B M D.

This CHANDLER genealogy begins with Edmund who was born in London, England in 1588 and died in 1662. He and his family traveled from Leiden, Holland to Barbados where some of his children stayed. He then went on to Duxbury, Plymouth County, Massachusetts where he settled. The majority of these Chandlers lived in Massachusetts and Maine, with some going west and settling in Iowa in the mid-1800s. Other connected surnames are: WYMER, JENSEN, TOPIC, WOLLAM, WARNS, LEISSNER, SPROETE OR SPROTE, BIBA, SHAW, COWAN, HANKS, MATHIS, DOBSON, KELLY, LEMPKE/LEMPKA, MILLER, and PHILPOTT. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~barbc46/ Previously published in RootsWeb Review: Vol. 6, No. 25, 18 June 2003.
