Traffic on this site has
picked up in recent months. If you are a Newberry or Morris cousin,
please be aware there are other private sites for these two families which
are by invitation only.
We would be especially pleased to have some new membership in
both. If you are interested in
participation, please email me for further information. I am
especially interested in connecting
with cousins who are affiliated with the colonial Newberry family in New
York, Connecticut,
and Pennsylvania. Click on the link at the bottom of the page which
says, "say hello" to contact me.
The
Real Beginnings of Thanksgiving
Because some of the
people in my collateral family lines, and perhaps even early main lines
were
thought to have been descended from the Wampanoag Tribe, I have dedicated
a page to this
history written by Roy Cook. He has generously granted me permission
to use his article and
link to the American Indian Source web site. His article provides
some compelling history in
a nutshell, which I am sure you will find fascinating. It is a
history that is appropriate and
provides a better understanding of European and Native history in early
times.
