One Davidson Family |
|
In 1899 Henry R. Coles, husband of Mararet M. Davidson, published a
Genealogical record of the Davison, Davidson, Davisson family of New England. 110 years later I found it online.
It was a gold mine of Davidsons. I copied out the raw OCR text transcription and went to work on cleaning up the OCR misinterpretations and converting it to
an almost verbatum web page
that I and anybody else could find useful. |
I may eventually discover an ancestor within that list, or perhaps that ancestor predates Nicholas Davison of 1580.
Regardless, it may help you. It does contain a number of interesting articles, poetry and anecdotes.
You might notice that it has in fact since gone full circle with a message from Susan Wright Kielpinski on the Comments page.
