My blog created; New Jersey research, Carpenters

This has been a bad genealogy day. All I have done is set up this site--hopefully successfully. My children both have blogs and tell me it is easy to do, so this is my attempt. Although I have done nothing today (or yesterday for that matter), I devoted almost all of Wednesday to genealogy and New Jersey history. I wanted to attend a lecture at the New Jersey Archives on East and West Jersey Proprietors, so left work at noon to go to Trenton. I found the Archives to be a friendly and helpful place. I had never been there before because they are only open during work hours. My research was devoted to early Carpenters--Samuel and his children and grandchildren. I found some interesting deeds and wills, and after I study and transcribe them I will write more about my finds. Suffice it to say now that it was a successful day.
