Chapter 217

Olmsted Geographic Geneology loads nicely into Google Earth

The American Olmsted tradition began in 1632 when 8th Great Grandpa Richard  Chapter 186 geneaology  landed in Charlestown, MA. Now Shawn has brought a new Olmsted (Melissa) into the circle.

Neph Joey  is living now in Norwalk, CT and helped fulfill this chapter by snapping the monument picture, a tribute to Richard and the other founders. I added his photo of the Founders Stone Monument of 1649 to Wikipedia. Richard at 20 yrs was quite adventurous during his first 17 years in an unexplored land founding Quincy, Cambridge, and Hartford as well.
