In July and August of 2010 I took a 23-day trip through six Eastern states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Vermont. My goal was to be in the places my ancestors had lived and fought; to breathe the air, walk beneath the trees, and get a sense of what these places were like. I visited places that were pivotal in American history, from historic buildings to battlefields. I researched my family history in local archives and cemeteries.
I hope to use the first set of entries in this blog to share that trip with friends and family.
