Thanks Jeanne! I all of them that you have sent so far, up and online. I am keeping up, and that is good. I believe I am going to have to create a page just for them. I don't know if users hate long pages or hate to click to get there? Anyone have an opinion? You are actually saving me.....:o) I was so tired and burnt out on my own research that I needed something new. Learning about Mass. I have no ancestors there at all. So I am getting a break and will hopefully get my engines recharged. By the way, I still think you need to be recognized for the work you are putting into these. -- Sheri FamilyTwigs <http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~familytwigs/> TwigTalk <http://familytwigs.blogspot.com/> Indiana Trails To The Past <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Eintttp/> SA Jackson County <http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Einjacktp/>Trails To The Past

When my cousin told me that she was going to give me all of her research and I told her that I wanted to put it up on the Trails websites, the only thing she asked was that she get the credit. She was leary at first because she has seen so many errors perpetuated through online genealogy. She has been doing research since the 1930s and I'm merely typing her work, nothing more. As you can see, this research is well documented, as well as including lots of raw data, which you cannot possibly refute or replace. I don't need any credit. As to how you want to put it on the site, well, to me, that's your decision. Personally, I prefer to locate exactly what I am looking for and go to it. If I'm looking for bios, then I would prefer to go there, wills, go there, etc. I don't like wading through long pages to locate what I am after. I don't like having to move my mouse left to right or right to left in order to read something. Most of these individuals tended to pick a spot and stay in that one spot and I would probably break it down by biographies, wills, deeds, vital records, etc and put it on the applicable counties. Since I am only to the Cs, you can imagine how much data you are going to be inundated with.... Phyllis has tended to include details about women who were tried and executed during the Salem Witch Trials, you might want to include some information about that, whatever you can find. You might also want to see what you can dig up about shipwrecks along the coasts and lists of passengers, crew, etc from assorted ships. Most people know about the Mayflower in 1620, but did you know that it made a second trip? You might want to include links/details about Maine, since that was also considered part of Massachusetts until Maine became a state. You will notice that some of the older documents I had for Kittery, York Co, Maine refer to it as the colony/state of Maine. Phyllis had lots of photos that I need to get scanned and sent to you. Some of the photos are of the Saugus Iron Works, assorted Burying Grounds, etc. I don't know if there are any photos of any of these people, but, then again, I'm only in the Cs, so who knows what all I will find. Another ship fleet that is fairly well known is the Winthrop Fleet of 1630 (again, more ancestors for me). Sorry, Sheri, don't ask, I do not have enough hours in the day to take on another site(s)!!! The list of those who make one eligible for the Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury, I think I would research to find more information about the town and it's history, etc. In the front of this directory is three sketches: one is a sketch of the monument commemorating the landing place where these men landed in 1635; a second one is a sketch of another monument to those whose risks the hardships of emigrating on the ship "Mary and John" in 1635; and the third is a sketch of the Jackman Willet House, which was built in 1696 and is now owned by the Sons and Daughters of the First Settlers of Newbury and was moved to its present locating in 1981. Many of the states in the Northeast have a wealth of information and we should try to capitalize on that as much as possible. Once I have finished, hopefully you will have more than enough data to attract the perfect individual to take on Massachusetts and all of it's counties! Then again, with everyone else starting to share data, between all of us, you could become inundated! <grins> With all of this data, you may also consider putting a search engine on the site. That way, if anyone wants to quickly locate something, it wouldn't be too much effort!

How lucky you are! Right now I have all the information listed under the surnames. Perhaps they should be organized by will, bio, etc. I will put up a search. You actually jogged my memory about the IN search. Daryl put it up and was supposed to send me the password, but never got around to it. I will have to replace it. I had forgotten all about it. I love a full site. I certainly can try to keep up. -- Sheri FamilyTwigs <http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~familytwigs/> TwigTalk <http://familytwigs.blogspot.com/> Indiana Trails To The Past <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Eintttp/> SA Jackson County <http://www.rootsweb.com/%7Einjacktp/>Trails To The Past
