Collecting random bits of genealogy news.
There’s an article in the Jamestown News (North Carolina), by Norma B. Davis, about the efforts of Martha Ward, Al Sampson and Betty LaBella – members of the Society of Mayflower Descendants in the State of North Carolina, Piedmont Colony, to spread the word about genealogy and the original Mayflower colonists.
James M. Beidler writes about Francis W. Ditzler Jr and his efforts to get a tombstone for an ancestor in the Lebanon Daily News (PA). He had located the tombstone years ago, but didn’t write it down at the time, and when he went back, he could no longer find it.
