When my last article was published I thought I was finished publishing for a while. I've the extraordinary good luck to have published over two dozen scholarly articles on genealogy in the last five years. That's quite a bit of writing and researching. All of those articles but one were on my own ancestors (with the exception of methodological articles). Well, there's only so much new to find out about one's own ancestors and I really thought I was finished for the foreseeable future.
However, the April 2009 issue of the New England Historical & Genealogical Register came out and an article in that spurred me to look into another of my families and sure enough: An article was born. Never say never.
Hello Martin,
Just discovered your blog, and am having fun reading through your earlier posts.
Concerning the current post, I initially had hoped you might be hinting that you have found something on the origins of Andrew and Barbara (---) Lester, ancestors we apparently share, but then I remembered that you touched on this family in a recent TAG (not NEHGR) article.
Just curious--if it doesn't tip your hand, which current NEHGR article has inspired your current work?
Regards,
