I've been keeping up with the rowing and completed over 600,000 meters since June. At this rate I could row 600 miles in 2010 if I combine "on the machine" and "on the water" rowing totals!

I have been using my Christmas break to work on the sketch of the Sears Family Tree. I have only been able to include descendants of Richard Sears with the surname Sears so women tend to lose out when they get married. In my database though, I carry any and all descendants of Richard. http://www.SearsR.com/richard1/

Happy New Year and Merry Christmas. Blessings for the new year as we start this decade. Where did the "naughties" go?

Cape Cod Stories

I was searching for information about my favorite subject - Cape Cod Consanguinity (the relationships of one Cape Codder to another) and stumbled upon a trove of stories written in the 1920s

Pirates, geniuses, the County and others. I just finished reading the Pirates in two parts and although names are fuzzy and sometimes missing, the overall image is clear.

I hope you enjoy this new website find!
