Hi. Glee! How are you? Yes, I'd like to visit, but I've had zero time to devote to genealogy this past year, and am not sure what I'd be looking for. We moved to West Hartford, CT from RI and we have new jobs etc. Guess I may have to look in adjoining counties to see if I can find Jacob Thompson's resting place--he sure doesn't seem to be in Butler Co. He was an itinerant stone mason -died in 1899-and I'd suspect he was buried in Centre Twp., but I searched the cemetery on Brewster Rd.--no luck. Pat says that it's(Brewster Cemetery) probably in another county. thanks for looking. As for Robert Black (my great,great, grandfather), ours was a cousin to Robert (and Elizabeth Grossman) Black. They settled in Parker Twp., had a large farm in Bruin with oil wells drilled on it. If I could find their townland-his or hers-in Donegal, I could really continue the ancestry back. Some of the descendants want to know if there were any Catholics in our background in Ireland--most of us are Protestants-- and I'd love to meet some of our Irish cousins. Take care and thanks again!
