I have a definite interest in genealogy for early New England - direct ancestors, founding fathers of our country and LDS Church. There are a lot of records from the colonies, so it should be possible to document all settlers and their extended families.

PROCESS

 * Select Major Immigrant
 * Select Major 1880 Descendant
 * Build W-List to link the pair together
 * Build W-files for each family in between
 * EX1 : Moses Warren <--> John Warren / (Moses Warren Family Ancestry)
 * EX2 : John Bigelow <--> John Warren / (John Bigelow Family Ancestry)

Project 2012 Start tracing major lines back to American Immigration and to Europe.

Hall/Christensen/Warren

 * 1) Cumorah Angus Hall (1867-1918) - Great-Grandfather
 * 2) Elna Helene Christine Christensen (1877-1955) - Great-Grandmother : 2nd Wife of Cumorah
 * 3) Sylvia Jane Rackard (1874-1891) - Who is She? First wife of Cumorah. Cannot find record of parents and the dates for her birth at Camp Floyd (1874) don't match up to local history.
 * 4) Samuel Badham (1815-1868) - Mormon Battalion solder and step-brother to William Wood Hall that brought the family from England to Iowa. Badham on MainTour.

This is from my dad's side of the family. There is a very weak gap from Griffen Warren (d. c1333 at Woodbridge, Suffolk) to Robert Warren (b. 1485 at Nayland-Wissington, Suffolk). It will take a special research trip to clean that up.
