I have a few photographs of the Country Market to which I belonged – and which marked its final day just a week ago. It had operated for 59 years, every Saturday. It was a well loved institution.

This blog entry is “thinking out loud” – to get me started toward a final write-up of information I’ve been gathering over a long period of time.

Zeroing in on a book – what will it be? Something t.o do with my ancestors of course. My ancestors who emigrated to America in the time period 1620-1640. These ancestors – of my 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th great grandparents – were mostly residing in England. So the migration pattern was England to New England. A smaller number went to Virginia, and a small number remained behind in England.

I’ll start with a spread sheet showing: name, sex, relationship, occupation, destination, dates of birth and death, date of migration, special notes
