She was an artist and studied under <a href="http://www.artfinding.com/Biography/Juglaris-Tommaso/37425.html">Thommaso Juglaris</a> in Boston back in the 1880's. This is a photo (actually a tin type) of her class in 1886. She is the 5th from the left in the first row. I have seen several pieces of Emerline's work and they are quite good.<br />

I discovered this in an old banker's box along with other documents in a family home in Vermont. The journal is written on miscellaneous slips of paper rather than in a bound book. Initially, I was not able to determine who wrote the journal, but after reading several of the entries and references to various family members, it appears that Anna Elizabeth Nourse is the author. Anna was b. 10 Feb. 1836, Worcester, Massachusetts, d. 12 Feb. 1927, New York, New York. She m. 6 Dec. 1916, Franklin Fessenden Holbrook in Brattleboro, Vermont. The first entries are for 1855 - see below:<br />

These are handwritten notes that are likely to have been written by Anna Elizabeth (Nourse) Holbrook (my second great grandmother) or her daughter, Emerline Mason (Holbrook) Armstrong. There is no date notation on when the records were originally recorded. Surnames in this record, include: Bartlett, Bingham, Bull, Cune, Goff, Goodhue, Hall, and Holbrook.<br />

She was born 20 Aug 1856, Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont to Norman Franklin and Lucy Quincy Tarbell (Brooks) Cabot. She died at the age of 75, <a href="http://wchgenealogyblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Mary%20Cabot">30 Apr 1932</a>, Brattleboro, Windham County, Vermont. She was known at Aunt Molly to my grandmother, Grace Ware (Holbrook) Haskell. I believe that the entries in this book of dates were transcribed by my grandmother because the handwriting looks the same as that in my grandmother's book of dates. Also, the MRC book of dates is written in the back of my grandmother's book. The entries provide valuable insight into this family between the years of 1866 and 1908.<br />

Naulahka is the home where Rudyard Kipling wrote several books and was owned for a time by my great grandparents. Also written on the back are the names : Richard Merryman, Frederick and Grace Cabot Holbrook, Nina Devens, Mr. Daudelein. Frederick and Grace Cabot are my great grandparents and they are the furthest to the right (standing on the ground). I believe my grandmother is on the load of hay and her brother Frederick "Cabot" Holbrook is standing next to his father. My guess is that this photo was taken circa 1910 or so. <br />

My blog has taken a back seat for awhile, but I just had to post about the new<a href="http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=2495"> "Massachusetts, Town Vital Records, 1620-1988"</a> record set that was recently added on Ancestry.com. Randy Seaver has also recently posted his initial thoughts about these new records on his <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/">Genea-Musings Blog</a>, <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/03/ancestrycom-adds-original-massachusetts.html">"Ancestry.com Adds Original Massachusetts Vital Records"</a>. In his post, he references the <a href="http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2012/03/20/got-massachusetts-ancestors/">"Got Massachusetts Ancestors?"</a> post by Crista Cowan on the <a href="http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/">Ancestry.com blog</a>. Both posts give good information and background about the new record set.</div>

I have had great initial success in finding several birth records for several of my ancestors. Today I found the birth record for my 5th great grandfather, Jacob Haskell, b. 27 Oct 1718, Gloucester, Essex County, Massachusetts (see third entry down in cropped image below)</div>

One interesting thing that I have found, at least in the Gloucester, Essex County birth records that I have searched so far, is that there appear to be two or three versions of a given record. The record image above appears to be a copy of what may be the original Town Clerk's entry. For Jacob Haskell, I also found the following record. This record lists all the children of his parents that were born in Gloucester. My guess, given the neatness of the script is that this may be a transcription of the original Town Clerk's record, but I cannot be sure. The Ancestry.com source information for both records is exactly the same. </div>

One reason I think this may be a transcription is because I have run into a similar situation in the vital records for the Town of New Gloucester, Cumberland County, Maine. My Haskell ancestors moved from Gloucester, Massachusetts to New Gloucester, Maine. Anyway, I am in the process of transcribing the New Gloucester vital records and the records I originally were given were transcriptions of the original clerk's records. After a little more digging in the town vault we came across the original records which look similar to the first image in this post. </div>

I am looking forward to further searching in this record collection and I will post my results here. It really is a great time to be a genealogist and to have ancestor's from Massachusetts.</div>
