I won't say how old, or the year I was born...
but here is a cute photograph of a birthday long gone by.

I remember that my early birthdays always had a Halloween theme. The birthday hat was decorated with pumpkins and black cats. My sister was about ten months old. That old sofa was around for years and years, and it was covered with little scenes of colonial New England. I can remember spending lots of time as a small child looking at all the houses, horses and trees all over the sofa. We had it in the living room in our home in Beverly, Massachusetts, and in Holden, Massachusetts. By the time I was in high school it had been moved to the basement rec room. The sofa was black and white, so no detail is missing in this old photo.

Isn't it funny the memories you find in old photographs?

The Great Migration Series

WARNER

The English origins of William Warner were laid out in a book The History of Peter Parker and Sarah Ruggles of Roxbury, Mass., and Their Ancestors and Descendants, by John William Linzee (Boston, 1913) but disputed by Robert Charles Anderson in his book The Great Migration, Volume VII (T-Y), pages 243 -247. He was born about 1587 and had two children baptized in Boxted, Essex, England. His origins are unknown.

His wife is unknown, but the following excerpt from The Great Migration is interesting because both William Warner and Simons Stone are my 10^th great grandfathers :

“Richard Lumkin and Sarah Baker were married at Boxted, Essex, on 20 October 1614. After Lumkin's death, Sarah married SIMON STONE {1635, Watertown} [Great Migration 2:6:553-58]. In her will of 25 March 1663, "Sarah Stone wife of Simon Stone of Watertowne... and the relict of Richard Lumkin deceased sometime of Boxstead in the County of Essex, in England and last of all Ipswich in New England" ordered that the residue of her estate "be equally divided between my kinsmen John Warner, Daniel Warner, and Thomas Wells" and made these three men her executors [Middlesex County Probate Records 2:128-30, Case #21723]. Given this close connection between Sarah (Baker) (Lumpkin) Stone and the children of William Warner, and the baptism of the tow children of William Warner at Boxted, most writers have proposed that William Warner married a sister of Sarah, but no further evidence has emerged which would confirm that this is the precise relationship between the two families.”

Besides these interesting controversies over William Warner’s origins and the possible identity of his wife, not much else is known about him. He was made a freeman in Ipswich by 1638 and he received one of the original 1635 grants of land. In 1637 he was granted a house lot and farm land. He left no will, and no tombstone, nor a death record.

2014 Seven to Save

October 27, 2014, 3:19 am

≫ Next: Tombstone Tuesday ~ Hoogerzeil and Sorenson

≪ Previous: Surname Saturday ~ WARNER of Ipswich, Massachusetts

Last week the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance announced its “2014 Seven to Save” list of historical buildings or sites worth preserving. For the past eight years this list has raised support and awareness for endangered historic places in New Hampshire. In many cases, this list and the awareness of these places in the media has saved these buildings from loss, demolition or ill planned renovations.

Of the over 50 structures on this list, half were saved. Many are local buildings in southern New Hampshire, such as the First Parish Church of Derry, which was on the 2009 list, or the Derry Upper Village Hall, which was on the very first list in 2006. Both buildings still need expensive structural renovation and restoration. The publicity this event raises every year helps in the necessary fund raising for buildings like these.

Major success stories include the Pandora Mill in Manchester, the restored Acworth Meeting House, and the Mill Pond Dam in Durham. According to the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance “some past listees like the Balsams in Dixville Notch and the Gas Holder in Concord still have uncertain futures.”

The announcement was made on 22 October 2014:

1. Brown Company House, Berlin

2. Kimball Lake Cabins, Hopkinton

3. Hill-Lasonde House, Manchester

4. Poor Family Farm, Stewartstown

5. Bradford Town Hall, Bradford

6. Washington Meetinghouse/Town Hall, Washington

7. Watson Academy, Epping

*8. (A bonus for 2014) Historic Family Farms and Agricultural Landscapes, statewide

≫ Next: Weathervane Wednesday ~ from a New Hampshire Winery

≪ Previous: 2014 Seven to Save

This cemetery plot was photographed at the Central Cemetery in Beverly, Massachusetts. Peter Hoogerzeil, son of Peter Hoogerzeil of the Netherlands and Eunice Stone of Beverly, was born on 24 June 1841 in Beverly and died 10 May 1908 in Beverly. On 14 March 1870 in Beverly he married Mary Etta Healey, daughter of Joseph Edwin Healey and Matilda Weston. They were my 2nd great grandparents and they had six children:

1. Florence Etta Hoogerzeil, my great grandmother. She was born 20 August 1871 in Beverly, and she married Arthur Treadwell Hitchings. She died on 10 February 1941 in Hamilton, Massachusetts. She is not buried here.

2. Lillie May Hoogerzeil. She was born on 29 September 1872 in Beverly and died on 17 May 1874 in Beverly. She is not buried in this plot. Since she was less than 8 months old when she died perhaps she is buried in the infant section of this cemetery?

3. Alonzo Hoogerzeil, born 29 May 1875 in Beverly and died 23 January 1946 in Beverly. He was married to Mabel Thurston Cressey, who died in 1951 in Salem. He is listed in the 1930 census as divorced. He is buried here without his wife or children.

4. Edward Peter Hoogerzeil, born 27 July 1877 in Beverly, and died 11 October 1907 in Beverly of "hemiplegia" (paralysis of half the body). He was unmarried and is buried here.

5. Lucy May Hoogerzeil, born 18 June 1882 in Beverly, died 3 September 1931 in Beverly. She died unmarried and is buried here.

6. Isabel Hoogerzeil, born 3 August 1888 in Beverly, and died 29 February 1960 in Beverly. She was married to George Sorenson, a Norwegian immigrant, and they had no children. They are both buried here.

Weathervane Wednesday ~ from a New Hampshire Winery

October 29, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Haunted Hannah Jack’s Tavern

≪ Previous: Tombstone Tuesday ~ Hoogerzeil and Sorenson

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs I post weekly. I started by publishing weather vanes from the Londonderry, New Hampshire area, but now I've been finding interesting weather vanes all across New England. Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting. Often, my readers tip me off to some very unique and unusual weather vanes, too! If you know an interesting or historical weathervane, please let me know. Today's weather vane is from New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weather vane #180? Scroll down to the bottom to see the answer!

Today's weather vane was spotted on top of the beautiful LaBelle Winery in Amherst, New Hampshire. This custom weather vane is a replica of the figure on wine label produced here at 345 Route 101. This facility has the wine production, a shop and a restaurant, as well as beautiful rolling countryside planted with neat rows of grapevines.

This winery was founded by Amy LaBelle, who experimented with making wine for many years in her kitchen, and at an orchard in Walpole, New Hampshire. She broke ground for this facility in 2012, and it has become a popular destination for fine dining, wine tasting and elegant functions. The wines here are made from local fruit and grapes from the Finger Lakes region of New York state. The grape vines planted in Amherst have been growing and maturing, and finally this fall will be made into their first batches of local New Hampshire grape wine.

Haunted Hannah Jack’s Tavern

October 30, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Halloween ~ A visit to "Blood Cemetery"

≪ Previous: Weathervane Wednesday ~ from a New Hampshire Winery

The Common Man Restaturant, formerly the Hannah Jack Tavern, in Merrimack, New Hampshire

This building was constructed by Edward Goldstone Lutwyche, a Tory whose property was seized during the American Revolution. Dr. Matthew Thornton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, bought the property at auction and it was inherited by son James. He named it Hannah Jack’s Tavern, after his mother. She was born in Chester, New Hampshire in 1742. Today this restaurant is known as The Common Man Restaurant on the Daniel Webster Highway in Merrimack, New Hampshire, but until 2004 it was known as Hannah Jack’s Tavern.

Hannah and Dr. Thornton are buried across the street at the Matthew Thornton cemetery. You can read all about their gravesiteHERE at this blog post.

Hannah Jack Thornton's gravestone in Merrimack, New Hampshire

Over the years many restaurant workers have claimed to see ghosts in the building. Some have reported seeing an Indian; some see servants in colonial clothing. A few of the sightings have been in the basement, and some on the stairs. I’ve been to this restaurant many times, and it seems bright and sunny, not at all dark and creepy, but I admit that I’ve never been down in the basement. In October 2008 the Nocturnal Society of Paranormal research and Investigations surveyed the restaurant for "ghostly activity". People believe that James Thornton hung himself off a rafter in the dining room, but I haven’t seen proof of a suicide in any historical record.

Nutfield Note:

It is interesting to note that Edward Goldstone Lutwyche’s unusual surname was the middle name of Reverend Edward Lutwyche Parker, the Nutfield, New Hampshire historian and the author of The History of Londonderry in 1851. Rev. Parker was a graduate of Dartmouth College and ordained in 1810. He served as pastor at the First Church in Derry until his death in 1850, and his son published his history posthumously. Rev. Parker's father was a great friend of Edward Goldstone Lutwyche, and named his son after him.

Edward Goldstone Lutwyche was also one of the Loyalist men who assembled a posse to arrest the protesters at the “Pine Tree Riot” in Weare, New Hampshire. This was one of the first acts of resistance to British authority in the American Colonies, taking place on 13 April 1772. His loyalty to the crown must have made Lutwyche very unpopular with his neighbors. Thornton and Lutwyche also had a long standing feud over the rights to a ferry across the Merrimack River to Litchfield. This area was known as Lutwyche’s Ferry, but is now known as Thornton’s Ferry in Merrimack, New Hampshire.

Halloween ~ A visit to "Blood Cemetery"

October 31, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Surname Saturday ~ FOLGER of Watertown, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts

≪ Previous: Haunted Hannah Jack’s Tavern

Pine Hill Cemetery in Hollis, New Hampshire is also known as “Blood Cemetery” not because of anything violent that happened here, but because of the Blood family. This cemetery unfortunately has become quite famous online as the site of paranormal activity. Because of this “fame” there has been vandalism and loitering in this remote cemetery. The town has erected surveillance cameras and the place is off limits between dusk and dawn. The Hollis town police patrol this area especially near Halloween to keep out the vandals and thrill seekers.

Abel Blood’s tombstone has attracted many teenagers over the years due to myth and rumor. The local historians haven’t found any connection between poor Abel Blood and any violent act or the occult, but nonetheless over the years many believe he haunts this cemetery. The town had to remove Abel's tombstone because of all the damage and vandalism. Local teens leave coins on the graves of the other Blood family members, perhaps as a bribe or offering to free them from his haunts?

During my visit there were coins on these two gravestones, and on several others.

What is funny is that very near there is a real Blood Cemetery in Dunstable, Massachusetts- just over the border and a ten minute drive from Pine Hill Cemetery in Hollis, New Hampshire. This smaller cemetery is labeled Blood Cemetery, has a sign, has some Blood family gravestones, and yet the local believers in spooky things seem to leave it alone.

Go figure!

A replica of the Pope Valuables Chest
at Plimoth Plantation

FOLGER

John Folger (my 9^th great grandfather), his wife Meribah, and son Peter arrived in New England on board the ship Abigail with the Reverend Hugh Peter in 1635. He lived first at Watertown, and then removed to the island of Martha’s Vineyard with Thomas Mayhew (my 10^th great grandfather). He died intestate about 1660.

In the second generation, Peter Folger was my 8^thgreat grandfather, and his wife Mary Morrill was an indentured servant for Rev. Hugh Peters. Peter saved his money for seven years and paid 20 pounds to buy her out of servitude and declared “it was the best appropriation of money he ever made”.

Peter went to Nantucket in 1663 to be an Indian interpreter for Tristram Coffin. He was very influential in assisting the first settlers on this island with negotiations with the native people. In the records Peter appears as a surveyor, miller, weaver, blacksmith, school master, and the clerk of the records. His poem “A Looking Glass for the Time” was published on 23 April 1676. This poem gives his opinions on religious freedom and government, including freedom of speech.

In the next generation, Peter had 12 children. One daughter was Bethshua, my 7^th great grandmother, and another was Abiah, mother of the famous Benjamin Franklin. Several authors have attributed Benjamin Franklin’s wit to his grandfather, Peter. Others have compared Franklin’s concepts of religious freedom and free speech in the Articles of Confederation with his grandfather’s writing.

My 7^th great grandmother, Bethshua Folger, married Joseph Pope and lived in Salem, Massachusetts. Their initials and wedding date is carved upon a "Valuables Chest” that was passed down in the family and auctioned off at Christie’s in 2000 for a record breaking $2,422,500.00 [see the link below for the full story]. The Popes were wealthy Quakers, who had been persecuted by the Salem authorities in earlier days. During the witch craft hysteria of 1692 Joseph and Bethshua were accusers against John Proctor (also my ancestor), and Bethshua claimed to be tortured by some of the accused witches, including Giles and Martha Corey, and Rebecca Nurse (sister to another ancestor, Edmund Towne, my 9^th great grandfather). When he died, Joseph Pope’s gravestone was described as “a pretentious stone of slate” by Jasper Marsh [in the Historical Collections of the Danvers Historical Society, Volume 10, page 93].

≪ Previous: November 2014 Genealogy and Local History Calendar

Can anyone identify these mystery ancestors for me? LOL!

This photo was taken just before the 1996 or 1997 Londonderry Old Home Day parade. We were dressed up for a Girl Scout float depicting historical scenes of girls. It was one of the few times our troop attempted a float in this parade. The girls were Junior Girl Scouts (grades four, five and six). We usually just marched in our uniforms, or built a float with all the Girl Scouts in Londonderry, not just our troop. We won a prize for our float, and the girls were thrilled. I spent a long time sewing this dress, and I remember that the hoop skirt was the most difficult part. My daughter's dress was one of my old dresses gathered up with an apron (easy peasy).

Weathervane Wednesday ~ Above a New Hampshire Inn

November 5, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Researching Your Mayflower Ancestors

≪ Previous: Tombstone Tuesday ~ Hoogerzeil in Beverly, Massachusetts

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs I post weekly. I started by publishing weather vanes from the Londonderry, New Hampshire area, but now I've been finding interesting weather vanes all across New England. Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting. Often, my readers tip me off to some very unique and unusual weather vanes, too! If you know an interesting or historical weathervane, please let me know.

Today's weather vane is from New Hampshire.

Do you know the location of weather vane #181? Scroll down to the bottom to see the answer!

Today's weather vane was photographed at the Bedford Village Inn in Bedford, New Hampshire. It is a large three dimensional sheep, visible from quite a distance away from the inn. We had our anniversary dinner there this summer, and spotted this weather vane for the first time. There was a thunderstorm and monsoons of rain during our dinner, so we came back later on a sunny day to get this photograph!

The Bedford Village Inn sits on land that was granted to John McLaughlin, the first town clerk of Bedford, New Hampshire. His brother Gordon cleared the land in 1774 and settled here. He went off to serve in the Revolutionary War, and after his return he built the farmhouse here in 1810. You can read the entire history of this property, and how it became the inn and restaurant, at the link below.

Researching Your Mayflower Ancestors

November 7, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Surname Saturday ~ POPE of Salem, Massachusetts

≪ Previous: Weathervane Wednesday ~ Above a New Hampshire Inn

Celebrating our Mayflower ancestors!

This blog post was published simultaneously here at Nutfield Genealogy and also at the Worldwide Genealogy blog www.worldwidegenealogy.blogspot.com

-------------------------------

Every year, just before Thanksgiving, some folks want to know if they have a ancestor from the 1620 ship Mayflower. My first advice is that it will probably take you more than a few weeks to prove a lineage back to someone born in the late 1500s, who might qualify as a passenger on this ship. After all, it has been about thirteen or fourteen generations since those passengers were born. But, if you work hard at it, you might be able to introduce your Mayflower passenger ancestor to your friends and family around the 2015 Thanksgiving table.

Mayflower descendants live all over the globe. There are active Mayflower Societies in all 50 states, Washington DC, and Canada. Societies are being considered for the United Kingdom and Australia because there are descendants living there, too. Many descendants live in the Netherlands, because the Pilgrim families left siblings and married children behind in Leiden. There are good numbers of other descendants scattered across the map. Are you one of them?

1. Start with yourself and work backwards in time. It is impossible to start with a passenger and try to work forward to yourself along a lineage. Besides, there were 102 passengers. Even if grandma swears you descend from William Bradford, you just might be a descendant of Myles Standish or Priscilla Mullins. You will never know unless you follow proper genealogical practices of starting now and working back through the generations.

2. Become familiar with the surnames of the 102 passengers, their descendants and where they lived. Yes, BREWSTER is one of the Mayflower names, but there was also an early Brewster family in New Hampshire. They were not related. Some of the passengers had common names like BROWN and WHITE. However, if your BROWNS lived in southeastern Massachusetts in the 1600s and 1700s, this is worth researching. You can find a complete list of passengers with known descendants are at these links:

https://www.themayflowersociety.org/about-the-pilgrims20/the-pilgrims

http://www.americanancestors.org/who-came-on-the-mayflower-pt2/

http://sail1620.org/Society/mayflower-passenger-list

Scroll down to “Mayflower Research” on this page to read sketches on each Pilgrim family from early Plymouth, Massachusetts: http://www.americanancestors.org/articles-topics/

3. If you can work your family tree back to about the mid 1700s your next step is to review the Silver Books published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. These are books produced by the “Five Generations Project” to document the first five generations of each Mayflower passenger. Some of the finest colonial genealogists have been part of this project. Most of these lineages have been published, and the project is now called “Mayflower Families in Progress” as they continue researching the sixth and seventh generations. You can find these books in good genealogy libraries, book stores, and for sale online at this link: https://www.themayflowersociety.org/membership-info16 For a good listing of all the books, see this link: http://mayflowerhistory.com/mayflower5g

4. Use primary source documents (birth, marriage and death records) if you are planning to submit your research to a lineage society. Deeds, probate (wills), gravestones, diaries and family bibles have also been used to establish lineage. Some of this is available on the internet, and are acceptible if they are scanned images of original documents such as censuses and birth records. Note all records with proper citations (page numbers, microfilm numbers, etc.). User submitted trees on www.familysearch.org and www.ancestry.org are not acceptable because they lack documentation, but you can use them as clues to help you find primary source materials. Don’t forget to make photocopies of everything you find. Click this link to read about “The Best Records to Prove your Case” by Mayflower genealogist Alicia Crane Williams:

http://www.americanancestors.org/researching-your-mayflower-ancestors-part-V/

5. In rare cases, you might want to consider DNA testing. Many of the Pilgrim family associations have DNA projects. However, for acceptance into a lineage society such as the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, DNA testing must be backed up with a paper trail. DNA can help establish that two men descend from a common ancestor. Several DNA tests have been used in the lineage application process for GSMD.

Let’s say you find a link to one of the Mayflower families. What happens next?

1. Congratulations! You are connected to some of the most well researched group of immigrants on the planet earth. There are endless books, articles, blog posts and all sorts of stories, documents and things to learn about your ancestor to keep you busy for quite some time. New research is being published every year.

2. You've earned your bragging rights. Not just that you have a famous ancestor, but you have done an impressive job at researching thirteen or fourteen generations. You can now take those documents and research papers and apply to family associations (more than half the Mayflower families have family associations), to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants, Colonial Dames, or any number of other lineage societies. Here is a link to the “Join GSMD” webpage: https://www.themayflowersociety.org/membership-info16

3. Double check your research against these links to common Mayflower genealogy hoaxes:

http://faculty.ycp.edu/~tgibson/genealogy/MayflowerAncestryHoaxes.html

http://www.winstonchurchill.org/learn/biography/genealogy/mayflower-ancestry-the-case-for-and-against

http://www.americanancestors.org/who-came-on-the-mayflower-pt2/

http://www.americanancestors.org/researching-your-mayflower-ancestors-pt4/

4. If the historian of a lineage society questions your lineage application papers, don’t worry. They are just asking you to clarify a point with additional documentation. They usually can help point you where to look for that additional piece of information. Remember that lineage societies are actively recruiting for new members, they don’t want to keep you out of the club!

Surname Saturday ~ POPE of Salem, Massachusetts

November 8, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Peru, New York Honor Roll transcribed by N. Smith

≪ Previous: Researching Your Mayflower Ancestors

The Pope Chest, dated 1679
At the Peabody Essex Museum, Salem, Massachusetts

POPE

The English origins of Joseph Pope, my 8^th great grandfather, are unknown, but the records in Salem are full of stories about him and his family. He arrived in Massachusetts in 1634 aboard the ship Mary and John and settled in Salem, Massachusetts. He joined the First Church (Puritan) in 1636, but he was also in the first group of early Quakers in Salem. There is a long list of fines levied against him in the court records, for absence from church until they were finally excommunicated. Many other Quakers in Salem were whipped and jailed.

The Quaker persecution in Salem ended when Samuel Shattuck went to London in 1661 to deliver a plea to King Charles II, who sent a mandamus to Massachusetts and ended the Quaker persecutions. It is unknown whether or not Shattuck is related to Joseph Pope. Joseph named “my bothers George and Richard and Joseph Gardner and cousin Samuell Shatok the elder to be overseers” of his last will and testament. All these families were Quaker. In a TAG article in 1954 the author was unable to find a genealogical relationship between these families [The American Genealogist, Volume 30: 164-66]

Joseph Pope, Jr. is my 7^th great grandfather. He was the constable for Salem Village (now the town of Danvers) in 1683, and was one of the more wealthy citizens according to a tax list. He ran a saw mill with his brother, Benjamin, and brother-in-law, Joshua Buffum. The Buffums were also a Salem Quaker family (another sister, Hannah Pope, married Joshua’s brother, Caleb Buffum). I descend from Joshua’s sister, Deborah Buffum, who married Robert Wilson (my 9^th great grandparents) and was whipped for appearing “naked” in the Puritan church to protest these persecutions of the Quakers (she was also probably suffering from some sort of mental illness). Click HEREfor that story.

Joseph Pope, Jr. and his bride, Bethshua Folger, were married in 1679. This year, and their initials, was carved into a valuables chest attributed to the Symonds furniture shop of Salem. This chest was passed on in the family as the “Franklin Chest” because Joseph and Bethshua Pope were the uncle and aunt to Benjamin Franklin (Bethshua’s sister, Abiah, was Benjamin Franklin’s mother). When the chest was sold at a Christies Auction on 20 January 2000 it was bought by the Peabody Essex Museum for a record breaking $2,422,500. Now it is on display as the “Pope Chest”. To read more about this chest, click HERE.

The Popes were witnesses against some of their Salem neighbors in the 1692 Salem witch trials. Perhaps this was payback for all the earlier the Quaker persecutions? Besides being connected to the infamous Witch Hysteria, they were also related to founding father Benjamin Franklin. Bethshua's sister, Abiah Folger, was Franklin's mother. This branch of my family tree touches a lot of interesting American history!

Military Honor Rolls ~ You never know where you will find them!

November 10, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Veteran's Day 2014 Honor Roll Project Contributions

≪ Previous: The Gold Star Mothers Memorial, Plattsburgh, New York- Honor Roll Project Transcription by N. Smith

Usually military honor rolls are found in parks or on the town common, next to a flag pole or military statue or monument. Sometimes they are found on plaques inside civic buildings (court houses, libraries, schools, etc.). This one was found inside a general store in Hooksett, New Hampshire!

Lucille Nerbonne November 11, 1943

This honor roll is located in the top right hand corner

Robie's Country Store is still standing

at 9 Riverside Street

Hooksett, New Hampshire

I find it poignant that the small, home made, framed honor roll pictured above was dated Veteran's Day, 1943. It is decorated with scenes of men fighting on land and sea, and signed by Lucille Nerbonne. For generations this store has been a gathering place for the community, and in 1943 most of the towns people probably stopped here to see the list and think of their neighbors in harm's way during World War II. Today, this store is still a gathering place for groceries, newspapers and to grab a cup or coffee or breatkfast. I hope that people still stop to read the names on this plaque and think of the veterans of World War II, and to think about the young men and women in harm's way in Iraq, Afganistan and around the world.

Lucille was only 18 years old when she made this honor roll, and look at whose name she listed first!

Lucille and Rendell were married on 21 September 1946 in Hooksett
["New Hampshire Marriage Records, 1637 - 1947" index and images, Family Search (https://familysearch.org/pal://MM9.11/FLDY-MCG: accessed 6 October 2014) Rendell Ernest Burbank and Lucille Marie Nerbonne, 21 Sep 1946; citing Hooksett, Merrimack, New Hampshire, Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, Concord; FHL microfilm 2319382]

According to FindAGrave.com, Lucille Marie Nerbonne was born 10 April 1925 in Manchester, the daughter of Enoch Nerbonne and Florence Pincence. She died on 28 January 2008 in Boscawen, and is buried at the Martin's Cemetery in Hooksett.

Does anyone know what the M.M. stands for after the name "Peter Alexander"? Could it be Merchant Marine?

The Gold Star Mother's Memorial, Plattsburgh, New York
photographed by volunteer N. Smith

The Honor Roll Project collections transcriptions and photographs of military monuments with the names of veterans from parks, schools, civic buildings, books and other places all over the USA and abroad. You can see the complete list of Honor Roll contributions to this project at this link:
http://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/p/honor-roll-project.html

Or at this Pinterest Board
http://www.pinterest.com/geneabloggers/military-honor-rolls/

Twice a year, for Memorial Day and for Veterans Day, genealogy bloggers photograph and transcribe these honor rolls, and publish them on the internet. The act of transcribing these names makes them available to be found by search engines such as Google, Mocavo, Yahoo and others. Family members searching online for genealogical or military information on relatives, ancestors or friends will be able to see the honor rolls, read the names, and learn about their family's military history.

It is a simple project, and it brings unexpected joy to searchers who did not know their ancestors were in the military, or did not know the specific military history, or sometimes they did not even know the town where their ancestors lived. Seeing their family member's name on an honor roll can be the beginning of finding more genealogy data, military records and historical information.

Eventually I would like to see this list of honor roll transcriptions on a new website. Any volunteers?

Here are this year's volunteer contributions. Please thank them for their hard work by leaving comments on their individual blog posts.

Weathervane Wednesday ~ Seen at a famous Florida Amusement Park

November 12, 2014, 3:00 am

≫ Next: Melinda Wilkinson, the Runaway Bride

≪ Previous: New Boston, New Hampshire Military Honor Roll

Weathervane Wednesday is an on-going series of photographs I post weekly. I started by publishing weather vanes from the Londonderry area, but now I've been finding interesting weather vanes all across New England. Sometimes my weather vanes are whimsical, or historical, but all are interesting. Often, my readers tip me off to some very unique and unusual weather vanes, too!

Today's weather vane collection is from a famous amusement park in Florida.

Do you know the location of the weather vanes featured in collection #182? Scroll down to see the answer!
