One of the advantages of doing a Surname Saturday post is that it forces me to review my documents and sometimes I get new leads. Such was the case yesterday, when <i>The History of Kent County</i> gave me clues to look for Dennis Concidine (spelled Constantine in the censuses) in Monroe and Wyoming Counties in New York State. I found him in 1830, 1840, and 1850, plus I found a widowed woman I believe may be his wife in 1860 in a poor house in Wyoming County. She was labeled a "lunatic," which may mean she had dementia.Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-73913726846055106342009-11-15T07:49:07.864-08:002009-11-15T07:49:07.864-08:00Hi Miriam, I've been meaning to comment for aw...Hi Miriam, I've been meaning to comment for awhile on your Surname Saturday posts. I really enjoy reading them. I think you've hit on a great format to showcase the people with more than just the "facts." Great job!Tonia Kendrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297848253869576380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38696983.post-6054240896290121852009-11-15T02:59:48.425-08:002009-11-15T02:59:48.425-08:00I perused the links that your provided.

I particularly like your search style --- like a hound on the scent--- and that is a good thing!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.com
