No, this is not a web site dedicated to Neil Young’s soundtrack album by the same name, although I own that album and can attest to it being well, very Neil Youngish. Love ya’ Neil. When you going to write a song about Omemee, eh? Come on ~ you know you want to… but I digress…
Hi, my name is John Charlton and this is a place for me to store and display my family genealogy. I took up the search to discover my family roots many years ago. Back then, there was no Internet, no Ancestry.com, no Free BMD and no WordPress. There was simply a desire to find my own personal portal into the pages of history. For me, that is what this search and Journey Through The Past is all about.

Hi! I’ve been enjoying the fruits of your hard labor for the past four hours. What an amazing site you have here, and thanks so much for your meticulous data and your generosity.
My ancestor was Roger Merrill (and other variants, which I’m sure you know better than do I). I’d be very interested in sharing what I know with you, although it’s not much, and what I do have, is due mostly to the kindness of others. Let me see if they don’t mind if I share.
Again, thanks so much for your awesome site. Please email me if you’re interested in early information on the Merrills and other related members. I noted, for example, that one of the sources has them as Huguenots. I’m certain that they were not, as my Nathaniel Merrill family came from England (abt. 1400 to sixteen/seventeen hundreds). Roger Merrill (b. 1755, West Hartford, CT) from that same family was in the Revolutionary War, moved to Canada in abt. 1797 (see tax rolls that you all so generously shared), and died there. His son (one of many siblings), Samuel Merrill, raised a family there, and then HIS son, Albert Forest Merrill, moved to the Long Rapids area of Michigan in about 1859 (then Fremont), and died there of tuberculosis in 1881.

Hi Nancy;
Glad you liked the Old Percy Township records.
The Merrills are one of the few pioneer families (the other being Dingman) that still have strong representation in the area.
