Still not reached the generation past Ransom Russell or Loly Terrell, but it must be out there somewhere.

Would love to help in any way I can, but I don't find the two family members you named in my current records. At least not yet! I know I am connected to you through your Stoddard line, as your cousin Susan and I have calculated we are 8th cousins, once removed. But please tell me more about your Russell and Terrell/Terrill connection -- did you know there is a group of people who are Descendants of Roger and Abigail Terrill who gathered for the 375th Anniversary of Milford, CT a few years back? I can provide some contact information for some of them, if you would like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06578398315348938474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6186680765258462555.post-9471937076313057402014-01-19T11:47:35.117-05:002014-01-19T11:47:35.117-05:00Thanks Debra!

I learned about your blog via Geneabloggers...Hello,<br />I learned about your blog via Geneabloggers.<br />Reading it, it struck me that both the Dikeman and the Beers name sound very Dutch. Being Dutch myself, I was very much interested. I also have a blog with many genealogical subjects. One of my posts shows a survey of foreign genealogical blogs/sites showing Dutch origin surnames. The URL is http://www.patmcast.blogspot.com/2012/05/dutch-ancestors.html. The idea is to try and establish contacts between people who have an interest in the same surname. There are numerous cases in The Netherlands where people emigrated centuries ago without leaving a trace in Dutch archives. With my blog I try to bring Dutch and foreign (mainly US/CAN) genealogists together.<br />Therefore, I like to have your permission to show your site in my a.m. blog.<br />I look forward to your reaction!<br />Kind regards,<br />Peter<br />PS In Holland Dikeman is written as Dijkman.

There are some wonderful books on local history tucked away amidst all the addresses on the Internet. It is really a goldmine to find a book such as the one you mentioned. And the photographs those books sometimes contain! Definitely help make those mystery connections seem so much clearer.<br /><br />I found your blog today, thanks to a mention in GeneaBloggers. I heartily agree with your introduction: about being "more curious about the individuals than adding more people to the branches." Glad to have found you!
