As a peripheral genealogist, my belief that we are all related is steadfast. As a teenager I thought I had no relatives in USA. I felt I was a 1st gen. American, of Canadian parents. Was I ever wrong. My wife is 14th gen. Mayflower Descendant. That makes our son a citizen of the WORLD. Enough said, I will try to get photos from RI and nearby New England cemeteries. Gravestone carvings are invaluable, (even when you figure in errors in spelling, dates etc) and often provide more questions than answers. Fasten your seat belt and get ready for the RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!
