It's Time To Head To LARRABEE Country

We're going North for 6 days to open the camp, come home for 2 Weeks then return to Maine for the summer. I hope to visit a few towns this summer and check out some leads. Haven't had much luck on the Web, except with the very early Larrabee's in Malden Ma. and North Yarmouth Me. I did find a picture of my great grand mother Sarah Anne Newhall Larrabee with 2 of my great uncles and my great aunt posing for a school picture. You can guess what it meant to me. You can see a sense of pride and Yankee Independence in her look.

Tracing Ida Allen Barnes

Here's the web site I mentioned earlier that had info on Ida. It shows her linked to the Raynor family in Long Island going back to the 16th century in England.
I'll be able to add several more surnames to the family tree thanks to this site.

KODA GETS A Haircut

Our "boy" got a visit to the groomer today, and received a good report!
He got a buzz cut for the summer. As the pictures show he is a beggar and will dance for a "treat". Its tough to get a good shot as he will not sit for a pose.
