 In late February I received an email from David Roberts,
Generator Editor, reminding me that my President's Message for the
Spring edition was due by the end of March. I had considered several
possible topics but none had really jumped out at me. That was until I
walked to the end of my driveway and pulled the March 2nd edition of
the Baltimore Sun from its box. There on the front page, below the fold
and under the heading "Sun Exclusive" was the headline, "A New Twist to
an Intriguing Family History---Census Records, Genealogical Research
Show Forebears of Obama's Mother Had Slaves." I began to read and
instantly knew a topic had found me.

Proving My Mayflower Line |
|
Tuesday, 03 April 2007 |
During a trip to Maine to visit family in the 1970’s I visited an aunt that discussed her membership in the Society of Mayflower Descendants based on our descendancy from Henry Samson, a teenage passenger on the Mayflower in 1620. Some time in the past she had processed applications for herself and my grandmother and offered her data if I was interested in joining. I happily accepted her data and put it away until I had more time to work on the project.

Some months prior to her death in September 2006, the late SMCGS member Judith Burger of Paducah, Kentucky, sent me an e-mail with more detail on the life of her cousin, Sister Martha, SCN. This information expanded on the short article that we printed in the Winter 2006 [Generator.] Although, we did not print Judith's last contribution during her lifetime, we wish it to be a memorial to a dedicated genealogist, who worked many years studying her Maryland-to-Kentucky ancestry.
