My recent research at the AmericanAncestors.org website resulted in the discovery of a whole new set of ancestors in my family tree. Most of them lived in Barnstable County on Cape Cod in the towns of Eastham, Chatham, and Yarmouth. At the moment, the list of families is as follows:
Bangs
Bearse
Bower
Collins
Crowell
Dexter
Doane
Hallett
Hamilton
Hopkins
Knowles
Sears
Smith
Stewart
Vincent
Worden
I already knew about other ancestral families from Barnstable County such as the Rogers, Ellis and Freeman families.
Many of the new families were prominent members of their communities and I've found probate files and other records that should keep me blogging for some time to come!
