Out and About

Condolences go to to the family of Barbara Libby of Columbia who passed away May 29, 2013. Around forty family and friends attended the service for Barbara at the Wescogus Cemetery in Addison on Sunday afternoon.

Get well wishes go out to the following folks: Eve Alley of Addison, Jason Carroll of Columbia, Huddy Peterson of Harrington and Mary Farnsworth of Cherryfield.

I have been working on the calendar for the Pleasant River Historical Society quite a lot this past week.  Some think that it is easy to do but I have had to do some research on the pictures that I am using and then fixing them so they will print out better for the calendar. I also have received some more photos of the area to use in the calendar that have been posted on my groups from Ernest MacLauchlan formerly of Addison.  It is really interesting connecting on Facebook and learning more about the history of Addison through photos that are being posted.

This past week Alan & Peggy Tabbut of Wisconsin was in the area doing research on the Tabbutt line. They stayed at the Llama Farm in Addison where I had a nice visit with them one evening. I sent them home with some Maine goodies for them to try. I knew them only through Facebook until I met up with them here in Addison. It felt like I had known them for year. Now I hear that another Facebook friend William Wallace Tabbot of Spartanburg, South Carolina will be coming to Addison to do some research on the Tabbot line at the end of June. I hope to be able to meet up with him while he is in the area.

There seems to be a lot of conversations on my genealogies groups: Pleasant River Historical Society Group, Washington County Pleasant River Group, and the Washington County Historical Genealogical Society Group. I am pleased that a lot of local photos of Addison are popping up and more and more of my ‘friends’ in the genealogy world are connecting. So much fun to connect with them and help them find out more information on their ancestors.
