I’ve went away for a week and now it has taken a week to get caught up to where I was before I went away. I have been particularly slow in figuring out what I was doing in my genealogy research. In fact in an unexpected lightening bulb moment last night I suddenly remembered that I was slowly and methodically adding to my annotated list of my ancestors who emigrated from the British Isles to North America. And the core document for that exercise is a blog entry originally compiled in July 2016.
To add to my confusion I bought a new laptop and am having trouble getting set up. That old eircom email address is snarling things up. Anything eircom is no longer validd or operational.

maybe I could try to find out how many of my ancestors were knitters

I’ve now finished reading this excellent book and will start checking whether any of the early settlers of Watertown are related to me. Certainly a lot of the names were familiar to me as names of people or streets or schools in Belmont. Belmont where I grew up was part of Watertown in the period covered 1630-1680.
this book is a mine of information re the settlement of my hometown area. Combine this with all the information regarding my ancestors – who came when and from where – I’ve got a lot of mixing and matching to do. Bonanza!
