This week I have a guest blogger at Nutfield Genealogy, James H. McConihe, whose ancestor came from early Nutfield (Londonderry, New Hampshire). James has been researching his ancestry for years, and writes about the struggles with the multiple spellings of McCONIHE. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/06/john-mcconihe-d-1760-nutfield-settler.html #genealogy #FamilyHistory

I just finished updating this blog post from 2009. It was one of the first blog posts I ever wrote. My 4th great grandfather, Jonathan Batchelder (about 1800 - 1847) had a mysterious life, and died insane. I still have many questions about his death and his wife is a brickwall. I learned a few new facts about his ancestry, but I still have a long way to go! https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/08/mystery-of-jonathan-batchelder.html #genealogy #FamilyHistory

From FDR "We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred, is a wedge designed to attack our civilization"

Robert Wilson, my 5th great grandfather, lived in Salem Village (now the town of Danvers, Massachusetts). He is the 10th ancestor I have featured in this series about the Revolutionary War. He marched on the Lexington Alarm, and is listed in the DAR Patriot's Index. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/03/my-revolutionary-war-patriots-robert.html #genealogy #familyhistory #250th
