Famous Cousins #3 - All of the American Presidents

Ooo-wee! Look's like I'm gonna be the guest host of this post, oh me, oh my!

It's about all your American Presidents!

Famous Cousins #2 - Alec Baldwin + Baldwin Brothers

Alec Baldwin

And the Other Ones

And now its time to look at another famous cousin!

This guy's name is Alec Baldwin. Finally, when people see that your last name is Baldwin on a form or medical sheet and inevitably, incessantly, invariably ask you, "Are you related to Alec Baldwin!?!?" you can say "YES, we are related. Now go away!" before you lamely tip over a plastic picture frame on their desk and awkwardly stumble away, only to return sheepishly, because remember, you still have an appointment there.

Not only that, but now you can also know exactly HOW this family relationship came to be...

The Mystery of Fidelia Thompson

I have heard that Fidelia Thompson (or Thomson) may have been part Indian. Finding information on great-grandma Fidelia has been very difficult. Aside from her marriage to William H. Baldwin (1816), the fact that she died young at 23, her father's name Gideon Thompson, and that she was buried in New Preston, I know nothing more about her. If I could find her mother's name it would be of great value to my research, but I have not come across any records.

Noble Ancestors #1 - Charlemagne (742 - 814)

I'm going to get this one written up and out of the way, first.

This guy!

"Hey, everybody! I'm yo' grandad!"

Cousins and Famous Cousins - Intro Post

Cousins.

What is a cousin? Where is a cousin? Why is a cousin?

Indeed, these are all questions.

Of my 9th G. Grandmother, Esther Baldwin (1746 - 1820), Double Ancestry, and Self-Cousin-ism. Also: Three John Baldwins

The lineage of Esther Baldwin (1746 - 1820)

In my first post I listed my lineage dating back to Robert Baldwin and Agnes Dolte. There was something pretty funny lookin' if you took notice of generation #9, where Asahel Baldwin married an Esther with a maiden name of Baldwin. I was recently able to look into and verify her lineage back to Joseph and his father Richard using Charles Candee Baldwin's The Baldwin Genealogy and its supplemental volume, and please see my previous post "The Problem of Richard Baldwin" for further exposition on the previous generations back to Robert.

After doing this research I can put together a second, different line of descent from Robert Baldwin and Agnes Dolte down to Esther Baldwin, and then down to myself, and it reads as follows:

My Baldwin Family Line. Let the blog commence?

HEY, YOU GUYS!

I made a blog.

The purpose of this blog is to post family tree research that I and others have done, and to share it with interested people, most probably within my family. Hi family!

Also strange, random, internet stalkers.

Hi stalkers!

I need to try to figure out the information-privacy balance, so for now I will try to limit information on currently living generations.

I guess a good first post would be to list all of the generations I have on the direct paternal Baldwin line, including all of my g-g-grandmothers. This can form the spine for what I will delve into and talk about later. Consider this the main trunk of the tree. Interesting stories and posts will almost always refer back to this main line.
