Mann, Laurie: Personal Genealogy Pages
I was lucky to have had relatives during the middle part of this
century who recorded what they knew about their ancestors.
So I'm off to a good start, but I find there are many pieces of this puzzle
I need to find! Are our families related?
Search my
genealogy pages to find out. I've also put up Pictures
from a Wedding.

Famous Cousins
I've always been interested in famous people that I'm related to.
As a child, I was always told we were related to Emily Dickinson,
Noah Webster and Hannah Dustin. So I've been doing research to
confirm/deny this.
It turns out, my great-grandmother was not a close cousin of
Emily Dickinson at all.
While they were part of the same family that
emmigrated to the US in 1642, Emily was from a completely different
line, which made us something like 12th cousins, 12 times removed.
However, it turned out that I am from the same line as Henry Clay, so
he was something like a great-great-great granduncle.
The Webster relation is even more tenuous. One of my ancestors was a
Greenleaf, and it turned out that one of
her distant aunts married Noah Webster.
I just found an interesting familial link that I had no idea about until
I was doing a little research on the Southwick line. My
great-great-great-great-great grandmother was a Southwick, descended
from some Quakers who fled England. It turns out these Southwick
forebears had a descendent named
Jenny Jerome,
who married an Englishman and had a very famous son - Winston Churchill.
