Welcome To Pilgrims and Pioneers!

After many years of researching my family geneaology I have been lucky enough to discover actual information about my relatives that lived in the Pilgrim Era and the Pioneer Era- while many people also have realtives from those eras- many do not know their names or where they lived- actually seeing the proof in print makes you much more aware of who they really were.
After discovering these relatives it of course made me curious to learn more about the eras that they lived in and what their lives were like as, the history I learned in grade school had long since been forgotten.
I decided to start this blog for others who are also interested in these eras.
Some of the information here will be actual facts about my realtives and some will be information about the eras in general that I have found on the web.
I hope you will enjoy traveling back in time with me!

A Bit of Nostalgia


This picture has hung in my mother's house for over 50 years. I have always found it touchingly beautiful. It is a print not an original so I am not sure of it has any monetary value. Even if it did the sentimental value is priceless to me.

When she passed away last winter my 36 year old son was living there and continues to do so- after her death her death he asked if I would leave the picture there with him. I wanted it so badly but I was so touched that he too wanted the picture that I left it. But I go to see it every time I am in her house. Not only because I love the picture but I think because it reminds me of Mom.
