It was when I began to research my father's ancestry that I stopped just collecting great-grandparents and began to hear the stories they were trying to tell me. While ancestors on both sides of my family endured hardship and heartache, Dad's ancestors taught me empathy for individual failings and how to seek for circumstantial explanations. Surnames: Clark, Davis, Libby, Loucks, Sheldrick, Jackson, Dexter, Childs, Lawrence, Stevens. Places: ME: Smithfield, Fairfield, Unity, Troy, Wayne; NY; ON
