As we approach mid-April, Forgotten New England has been live for about seven months, and has reached about 150 followers. Thanks to all subscribers and to those who stop by regularly. Your views and comments are much appreciated! Thanks too for sharing the blogs and posts through social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and myfamily.com.
The initial scope of the postings has been heavily weighted toward Eastern Massachusetts, and more specifically, the Merrimack Valley. I’ve seen that there’s a heavy interest in genealogy out there; so, I’ve been trying to add more genealogy content, which has expanded the blog’s reach out of New England and into Portugal’s Madeira Island, Ireland’s Ulster region, and Montreal. I hope to continue this line of posts and cover other areas of the world. I’ve got some posts in mind for Swedish and Azorean genealogy that should be coming online soon.
I’ve also added some initial posts related to other areas of Massachusetts and New England. I’ll be continuing these.
Are there any topics that you would like to see covered?
Please drop me a line at forgottennewengland at g mail dot com. Thanks for stopping by!

Dear Mr. Owens,
I enjoyed your past article, titled “How to do a house history” that appeared in the Thursday 2011 1 December edition of the Billerica Minuteman. As a result, I thought you would appreciate some additional information. Do you have an e-mail to forward some information?
