This blog shares the discoveries I make while on the journey to find my family genealogy. I am researching the following surnames on my father's side Blades, Davis, Fernald, Mullins, Nichols, Nickersons, and Ross from Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. From my mother's side Belcher, Brammer, Hall, Handy, Justice, Midkiff, Nelson all are from mostly Patrick County, Virginia and some from North Carolina.
