Bio

Genealogy and family histories are a passion of mine. I'm a museum professional and historian by trade.

Currently researching the LIGHT family of Washington, Maine; also related names in Knox & Waldo Counties.

I'm especially interested in any surnames from the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire): Caswell, Robinson, Newton, Randall, Muchemore, Haley, Downes, etc.

These families also had branches in Kittery and York, ME; Rye, Portsmouth, and New Castle, NH.

My personal family interests include the following surnames: Fuller (esp. the "Mayflower" Fullers) of New England, Philbrook/Philbrick, Collins of Quebec, Glidden, O'Connor (emigrated to Massachusetts in the late 1800s), and Noseworthy/Nesworthy of Newfoundland and Massachusetts.

NOTE: I will gladly add any additional information, correct/update data, etc for any of my records. Just let me know. Also, if any of the records I've added belong to a close relative of yours and you would like the record transferred, please tell me and I will do so. Thanks!

Also - it's cool with me if you use my gravestone photos for multiple burials (i.e., if I post the pic for one record, but there are multiple names on the stone and I didn't get around to reposting the picture for each record) but please make sure I am credited for taking the photo if you do this. I'm going back now and watermarking my images, but I haven't gotten them all yet. It's just a pet peeve of mine - I went out there to take the picture and I'd like my name to stay attached.

An even better solution would be to message me and ask me to post the picture myself. Thanks.
