We're back

            My momentum slowed after I published my first post in August. Sorry about that.

New small business projects opened up for all of us and have diverted our time and energy. Meantime, Chelsea, my daughter, graduated from college. And, before we could come up for air, we were hit with the holidays.

            Those aren’t the only reasons I put this project on hold. Truth is, I ran into research roadblocks.

Following years of careful sleuthing, my mother revisited some of her conclusions and, to her credit, raised necessary questions that we can’t readily answer. We realized we need a little more documentation. But, we ran into a few bumps we couldn’t get around without hiring researchers in Rhode Island and Connecticut or taking to the road ourselves. We can’t take either option at the moment. So, I stepped back to reassess. 

 After months away from this project, I’ve returned with fresh eyes. I believe we have important stories to tell. So, I’ll take one step at a time and trust that God – in His infinite Wisdom – will bring us the answers to who we are, who our people are and where we come from.
