The project I had with American Ancestors to see if we could use DNA to find any information on the parents of Jacob/Jasper Phillips, my 3rd Great Grandfather on my Great Grandmother Marjorie Bayne Munter’s branch of the family.

Huguenot Society
I had looked at joining the Huguenot society a while back on the Bayne family line (Great Grandma Marjorie Bayne Munter’s family) and was missing a degree of proof for one of the generations, so I had put it on hold for a bit. I recently connected with a cousin who has joined the societyContinue reading “Huguenot Society”
Rosie the Riveter Association

In this case James Bayne (my 2X Great Grandfather) actually served as aContinue reading “Jury Duty and James Bayne”

One was for Andrew Clutter, brother of my 4X Great Grandfather George Clutter, who eventually ties into Blanche Pocock. Andrew was killed near Atlanta in the Civil War and IContinue reading “Additional Civil War Soldiers”
Mayflower Supplementals – Again
These were really easy supplementals to approve, but for some reason I have determined that I want everyone to count when I have my Mayflower Passenger count. This time I added two additional people from the Billington Family and two from the Eaton Family. Earlier I had proven Francis Billington and Francis Eaton. This roundContinue reading “Mayflower Supplementals – Again”
