Weekly column sharing birth, marriage, and death events for people in my family tree.

Dear GeanaSanta, This year I am asking for some unusual items that relate to my family’s history. An original, first-run edition of the Webster’s dictionary that my distant cousin Noah Webster produced. The desk that my 10th great-granduncle, Robert Treat, used during his time as governor of Connecticut in the late 1600s. The medals that were awarded to my grandfather, John Cahill, for serving in WWII. Yours truly, Julie Posted for the 62nd edition of the Carnival of Genealogy.

Through a blog post at All My Branches Genealogy, I discovered that Wendy, Becky, and I are cousins through Richard TREAT.  Since Wendy posted her line, I figured I’d post mine as well.

The theme for the 59th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy is Politic & Our Ancestors. Politics has never been really big in my immediate family–we do our duty and vote, but that’s about it. Having said that, I knew there was a governor somewhere in my tree. In search of more information, I found that I have at least three relatives who were considered pioneers in their time with regard to politics.
