Pilgrims and Pioneers: Memorial Day

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!

Memorial Day

My family has a long list of service men- HH "Tip" Dow

Ladowick Underhill

Emmet Underhill

Capt. Edward Bump

and probably many I have not yet found in my genealogical research.

The two most recent are my husband and my brother. My husband is not well documented in photos but I did find one of my brother that my Mom had put in the local paper. It was taken in 1966.

To all men and women who have served I thank you.
