My Search for Hidden Treasure
I am hard at work, delving into every document, every record, every book and every website, searching for that elusive connection--trying to uncover that one piece of evidence that will prove my ancestry and establish my heritage! I'll do this not once, but a zillion times, over and over again! It has become a passion for me.
My desk is overflowing; my living room is piled high with paperwork. I can tell you who appeared in what census and when and where they lived, who they loved; the children they bore and buried and the lives they wove into a beautiful pattern of smiles and tears--heartaches and joys. But don't ask me what day it is or what's for dinner or even what the weather's like outside. I'm busy with important things--my ancestors!
I love genealogy and I love sharing my genealogy with other researchers. Look through some of what I've done and hopefully you will find something worthwhile. This is only the beginning--there is much more to come!

Close your eyes and make a wish!
May you break down your brick walls
and find your elusive ancestor!
My special wish is for:
John Bulmer and Lydia Rupp
my 2nd great grandparents.
They were married before 1870, but don't know where.
Their daughter, Mary A. Bulmer,
was born, May 10, 1870, but don't know where.
The story is that John was lost at sea when Mary was young.
Nothing more is know of Mary until her marriage in Lewes, Delaware
on November 14, 1886 to
Henry Albert Lamphear of Westerly, Rhode Island.
John Bulmer was said to have been from Maine
and Lydia Rupp was supposedly from Delaware,
but haven't found them yet!!!

More to come!
