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!

My Other RAOK!


My Aunt is just too good to me. Last Fall she gave me this wonderful flannel pumpkin throw she made. I have kept it on my quilt rack but this year I decided to take it off the rack & use it.

The colors are darker than the appear in the picture.

It is definitely one of my treasures!

That is sure a wonderful throw your aunt made. What a talented lady! I just LOVE the pumpkins, so homey and rustic. Are those frayed seams? I love that look.

Yes they are frayed seams- it is a primitive and rustic quilt- wish I could live at her house! LOL
