This is a wonderful book! There are so many facts for the Palmer family in here, it's great. Even though Percival Palmer, from the Salinda Baxter write up, wasn't an ancestor or a descendant of Cornelius Palmer, his family has been included. I was hoping when taking it out it would have something pertaining to the family, but I never expected to actually have him in it. It says that this book has been placed in the New England Historical Society, New York State Library, Albany, New York and Institute of American Genealogy, Chicago, Illinois, Reynolds Library Rochester New York. If only every family had a book like this. It's kind of what I'm trying to accomplish with this website. It's safe to say I was very impressed when reading this book.

First I want to take the time to apologize for not working as much on the site in the last two weeks. I had a surprise house guest on and off for them. It was my sons half brother. I was told that never would I see some people that I know doing that, but family, is important to me, and I want my children to know that, so since their father isn't seeing them why shouldn't us mothers get our children together? With that being said, the past few days I have begun an interesting investigation in the spare time that I have had, which of course has been limited. I have been trying to make a sick woman's dream of finding her adopted (out of the home) brother to unite them after 62 years. At first this started as trying to find a home for my sons Grandfather (he was adopted) but since he wasn't a match, the goal has changed.
Genealogy research involves many different skills including, but not limited to, organization, memorization, investigating, and estimating. With these skills I was able to find my half sisters that I had never met, introduce my daughters Father to his Father, reunite a mother and son, find the one child that was adopted out of my family (but since she does not know she was adopted, I would never tell her). Genealogy skills are useful in so many things. It never ceases to amaze me how something that I love so much can be used in so many ways. |
FrancescaI have been researching for over ten years now and have decided that this website will be my gift to the genealogical world, as I work to become a professional. Archives
