		<description><![CDATA[After two years since the last upload, I&#8217;ve finally uploaded a minor revision of my Taylor book. I think I will be working on it forever. Notable things in the last two years still haven&#8217;t made it into the book — the success of our triangulation of a DNA profile for Simon2 Taylor, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[10/19/11: OK, this has now been made public, so I will post:] The Saturday of Columbus Day weekend, about lunchtime, came a terse e-mail from a genealogist I&#8217;d met once, six years ago at Salt Lake City, but know better by reputation. &#8220;What&#8217;s yer phone number?&#8221; Shot it to him quick (with a sentence or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so Julie has had them for years now: Connecticut ancestors. And it seems like every other New Englander with whom I perform the parlor trick of finding common ancestors has them too. But until now, I have not had any — my New England ancestors all lived north of Boston. My single solitary Connecticut [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s something that seems to have flown under the radar. A 1993 book, Historical and Architectural Resources of Barrington, Rhode Island, reproduced two fine old maps, from 1851 and 1870, demonstrating the growth of this town, especially since a railway station was put in at West Barrington in 1868 and development of farmland into bayside [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prudence Island: our Allins came to Barrington from there before 1680; and the story goes that in the winter of 1682, Narragansett Bay froze solid enough for William1 Allin to haul his house over it (presumably minus the stone-end chimney), a few miles up the bay from Prudence to Annawomscutt in West Barrington. Now it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One update after last Wednesday&#8217;s talk. The night before, fleshing out a slide show, I went back up to the attic to look at the 1798 Federal direct property tax valuation page pasted on the partition wall under the eaves, and took a closeup of what I realize is Thomas Allin&#8217;s signature, since it is [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve hardly blogged at all since we moved in January. I&#8217;m finally going through and organizing hundreds of photos taken during the course of our renovations, while [...]]]></description>

Seven hundred cased photographic portraits of Civil War soldiers and sailors and their families — most of them anonymous — were donated last fall by the Liljenquist family, specifically the two boys, Jason and [...]]]></description>

This sunny weekend I extracted from the basement an enormous pile of old storm windows — full height wooden sashes, mostly two over two, the style of the &#8216;modern&#8217; replacement windows which [...]]]></description>

Sure enough, she was watching me, last night, as I tried to make some sense of [...]]]></description>
