Since returning I've posted an image of Brewster descendant Henry Stanton that I made in Seneca Falls and some photos of Bradford descendants George Eastman and family that I took at his mansion in Rochester, and I dutifully updated the All-Name Index. Stay tuned for more.
I posted one message from my iPad while chugging along the Erie Canal at 6 mph last week or the week before but all that actually showed up was the heading. I'll try again now that I'm home and have my computer. Below is a picture of the mighty Seneca which your webmaster and companions piloted from the stern, using the tiller you can see to the left of the American flag. The first thing I asked, though, was how to pronounce "Skaneateles," where the boat is registered, and which those of you doing central NY genealogy may also have wondered about. Turns out that today they say it "Skinny Atlas" but I would guess that 250 years ago it was something closer to "Skanny AT ah las."
