My 4th Great Grandmother, Jane!

Today I am sharing a picture of my 4th Great Grandmother, Jane.  It is so amazing how many photos I am finding of my family.

This week is finals week; therefore, I am not completing much of my family history.  Classwork does have priority.  The time spent away from the research will give it time to get more 'leafs' (family research hints).

So far, I have reached as far back as the 1700's!  During the investigation, I have found I am from Scotland, Canada, United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut).  It is believed that one of my family members is originally from Ireland.  We will see if that is correct.

One of my uncle's (from my grandmother's first marriage) completed some genealogy from her (my grandmother's) side, and said that I am related to Hannah Dustin and am also the 13th generation of a witch.  It will be interesting to find those connections!

Is it me, or does Jane look like she could do some harm?   Definitely not one to mess with.  That is how my family was though.  They were sweet and the most gentle, loving people, until they got mad.  Then move to the side and hope the anger was not because of something you did wrong lol.

  1. I know we got scared when we found that picture. She looks like Sister Mother, she is just lacking a ruler to knock someone up side the head.
