I found out through one of my sister's relatives not related to me that we had a common ancestor making us distant cousins of Princess Diana. Roberts wrote a book about her American ancestry which bore that out.

I've looked through a couple of his books on ancestry and never found any but ones I wrote about in another post.

I got as far as I could with my New England ancestors and just hit 3 brick walls, John Osgood and Sarah Solendine/Sullendine of Lancaster, MA; Alpheus Perry and Polly Farwell of Charlestown, NH. My other big mystery I'll never solve is my paternal grandmother was descended from Charles Stewart who fought at the Battle of Boyne. I also have New England Stewarts from the nobility line.

I would love to attend your class if I could. I'm a fairly seasoned researcher but there is always room for improvement. With me, I'm the only one in the family who was willing and interested enough to put in years of work. I met cousins on the web, and we teamed up to research together, made great headway, then we hit that old brick wall.

I made many more contacts in the late 90's early 2000's. It all seems to have dried up for years now. The only exception is I finally found a living cousin on my mom's side through findagrave.
