I love genealogy and family history. I started my family history research following the death of my Grandfather, Debs Webster, who passed away in 1994. He didn't really talk much about his family history (if at all). Debs was born in Brazil and my dad's family was from Norway and Sweden. I just assumed I didn't have any kind of family history tied to the early history of the United States. But, after looking through family photos and documents belonging to my Grandfather, Debs Webster, and through further research of my own, I discovered I was very wrong! Needless to say, my family history research has been a very interesting, enlightening, and fun (yes, I said fun) journey of discovery.
I currently serve as a Family History Consultant and teach a family history class at my church. I have also previously served as a volunteer librarian at our local Family History Center.
I hope you will follow me as I share my past, present, and future family history discoveries with you.

I just stumbled onto your web site. We both are researching you Waterman ancestors. Not sure if you know or care, but you may have 4 mayflower lines in there.

Hi, So are you a Waterman descendant? If so, where do you fit in on the family tree? Concerning the Maflower lines, I know of one. I descend from Dr. Luther Waterman, Revolutionary War Surgeon, who married Phoebe Barker. She is a descendant of Elder William Bewster of the Mayflower. Thanks for stopping by!

My name is Kemp Waterman . I live in Canada . My sister and I are doing a family tree in our spare time . We traced ancestors back to England and Scotland in the 1650's . Waterman was my fathers last name and Kemp was my mother's maiden name and we traced them both to the U. S. Google Kemp Waterman Buntin . You may find many more relatives . There are some very interesting relatives on both sides and we are all related as is everyone in the world .Unfortunately not everyone in this world respects their brothers . Keep looking I know I will .

ReplyDeleteThanks for adding 'Laws Family Register' to your 'Fab Finds' The Register was started by me way back in 1984 as a response to 'Laws' enquiries I was getting mainly from the US, Canada, and Australia.
Since then I have collected over 40,000 LAWES & LAWS as well as over 49,000 LAW names, nowadays I concentrate on LAWES and LAWS. I also joined the Guild of One-Name Studies in 1984 (see www.one-name.org). Currently I live north of Lincoln UK with Lorna my long suffering wife of 37 years and Danny and Poppy our 14 year old Briitsh Blue Cats, we are looking to move to Scotland as soon as we can find a house, Im writing this fron a southbound express coming home from another fruitless search this time from our favorite spot North Berwick which lies a the mouth of the Firth of Forth sone 20 miles East of Edinburgh Scotlands metropolis and capital
