New this week at Frothingham.us:
Since the family tree now contains over 3000 people and includes much more than just the Frothingham family, the new name of the site is Family History of Arlene Frothingham and Her Related Lines. Also, some of the pages have been combined to make the site easier to navigate. The location is still the same at www.frothingham.us
The Family Tree was updated to include new information, including several generations of the Richard and Ouellette lines. I've also added genealogy reports of "The Ancestors of Randolph Frothingham and Evelyn Welch" and "Ancestors of Arthur Gilman and Angeline Lusignant".
In the Gallery, there is a Richard Family Album of photos contributed by Bob Richard.

Don't forget the Siblings
If you haven't seen the guest book at Frothingham.us, you might want to check it out. Over the last few months I have had quite a few readers post comments. I've spent a lot of time following the leads and it's awakened my need to do some research. Over the last six months I've been preoccupied with remodeling our kitchen and planning this years vacation. When I've had the time, I've done some indexing for FamilySearch.org, but otherwise, I've let the genealogy take a backseat.
Today, the guest book entry asked about Olga Mifflin Frothingham. The question reinforced to me how important it is to follow siblings when doing research. In this case, I only know about Olga from reading her sister Ann's obituary. Ann's obituary linked Olga to the family, and also gave Olga's married name and the year of her death.
Another instance of following the siblings lead me to find the baptismal records of my husbands great grandmother in Canada. I had been at a dead end trying to find Emma Ouellette's parents. I knew that she was born in Canada, but little else. I remembered hearing her daughter Irene mention her Aunt Mary Langlois. By researching Mary, I found her birthplace of L'Islet, Quebec, where I was able to find the church records of her whole family, including Emma.
You may also want to check out the photo galleries at Frothingham.us. Since my last post I've added more pictures, and a few historical documents to the heritage photo album.
That's all for now. I'll try to update again sooner this time.
