  • Abel Triplett - DAR Patriot I have had several inquiries about the Stepehen Triplett family lately a people are trying to connect back to Abel.Interesting research links have been added to my Triplett page. In reviewing my grandmother's old files I came across a 1927 note from a Triplett cousin that listed the births from the "Old Triplett Bible." A copy is now posted at a new Triplett Bible page. Now we just need to find out who has the Bible. Neither of the two Shepard girls living in Bureau County had any descendants.  In the Hortense Abbot book Aquilla's daugher Mary Margaret was shown as died young.

  • Connecting With My Grandfather - 2011 trip to France New article in Genealogy According to Jeff. During May of 2011 my wife and I traveled to France to visit one of the areas where my maternal grandfather was stationed in World War I. The 90 plus letters that he sent home while stationed oversees not only provided information about the locations and activities but it also gave us an insight into him as a person. It is from having his letters that I have been encouraging people to record their own stories and their family history. While there was no "genealogical research" done on this trip it was researching my family's history while making some of our own.
