What a great idea! Especially for Vermont which should have a manageable sized set of families. I'm especially interested in the project for my major brickwall that I've had for 37 years now. Noah MORELL married in Marlboro, VT in 1850 to Lucy BALL. Noah claimed to be born in Neversink, NY in 1824, and census records indicate his parents were both born in Vermont. That would place them in the state when the population was very limited, but I've never been able to find the set of Morell families that would have been early settlers that I could then start to research in depth. This project might be just the kind of boost a scaling of this brickwall requires! Michael http://webpages.charter.net/mroman/genhome.htm
