Genealogy, Letters to Esther

Experience Bliss

I’ve wasted the entire weekend (where on earth did it go?!) working on Esther’s family tree. I was able to make some progress with one line. I also found a bunch of census and land purchase records for some of the Munros. In all the research I did this weekend, I came across a few really wonderful names:

Experience Bliss
Nataniel Toogood
Content Wales
Pelatiah Mason

They’re all good, but the first one is my favorite. She was born in 1649, in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. Those wacky Puritans sure knew how to conjure up an awesome name.

[Addendum: And yes, this means that I got Cumberland Family Tree up and running with 64-bit Windoze. Yay!]
