Genealogy

Lately I have been working on some more genealogy research. I've tried to organize surnames into their own binders. I think the only ones I have so are are Noyes, Pike, Whitcher, (these are all on the Noyes side) and then one for my Grandmother Noyes's side. Those names are Chesney and Fowler. I have also started with my mother's side (Willey).

My older sister and I started this on-going project many years ago. Thank goodness for technology and the internet. I have found lots of information and "talked" to lots of people through the World Wide Web.

We first started by going to the New Hampshire State Genealogy Library in Concord. I have continued with the research by visiting different libraries, historical societies and cemetaries.

Different websites that I like to refer to are:
Noyes Family Genealogy Forum

Ancestry.com

Family Search

Just to name a few. I know I have more that I like, just can't remember at this moment.

April 2, 2008

This is my first blog entry. I enjoy many things in life. I enjoy my family and my animals.
My family consist of the person I consider my husband (we have been together for a long time, live together and have a son, just not married), our son and the two dogs.

We currently have two dalmatians in our home. We had three until October of this past year (2007). We had to put our 12 year old male (Magic) down. Magic was bought for our son by my sister. We had Magic ever since his puppy days. Lucky, our second dog, came to us because her previous owner was moving and could not take her. Sasha, our third dog, came to us 6 years ago.
Magic was deaf and so is Lucky. Sasha is a hearing dog. It was different when we got a hearing dog, because the other two didn't bark much. When Sasha moved in, she barked when a car went by or when the door opened.

Our 15 year old son keeps us busy. He is busy with academics, athletics and other group activities. We are also busy with our own activities, such as fire meetings, school board meetings and other types of meetings.

Tonight we actually are all home and no one has a meeting or event to be at.
