Here I am, housebound recovering from hip replacement surgery. I’m finding it all too easy to buy books to add to my genealogy collection. Just search on Amazon.com and lo and behold – there’s a great book – the virtual bookstore! Here are some of my finds.

A book about Nantucket

A book about the descendants of Widow Elizabeth Curtiss

A book about the wave of English ancestors coming to America in the 1600’s

Pictures to follow. I have photos of each book but I haven’t figured how to access my photo files and show them on my blog.

Pictures of my cat yes. solstice 016
