Darling Family of Cornwall
The Darling Family of Cornwall is starting to come together. Please look at this line and let us know what you can add. Because so few vital records exist which mention this family, it is an extremely important record put together with Civil War era letters owned by various descendants. Read More »

Homage to Joseph Addison
The History of Addison County by H.P. Smith, 1886, D. Mason and Co. states that Addison County "...was named in honor of Joseph Addison, the English author..." The Addison family continues to thrive in England and has written us with the information that Joseph lived from 1672 to 1719 and left these words for us: Happiness is something to do, something to love, something to hope for! Addison is buried in Westminster Abby.

DNA Studies
If you are involved in or know of a DNA Reconstruction Project which involves an Addison County Family - please let me know about it. I'd like to start a reference page.

Sub Navigation

A genealogist must have the patience of Job; the curiosity of a cat; the stubbornness of a mule; the eyesight of an eagle; be blessed with the luck of the Irish and have the ability and stamina of a camel to go long hours without food or drink." (The Herald, Vol. 18, No. 3 & 4; 1995)

"It is said that the children cannot know the parents in the same light as the grandchildren - I wish my mother knew my grandfather as I knew him and that she knew you as I know you. The legacy will be the same for my children - I wish they would know me as my grandchildren will know me..." Garrin Ross
