Everyone has a family history, but only a handful of individuals have proven their connections to significant historical events, places, occupations, and individuals. You might have an ancestor who came over on the Mayflower, or fought in the Revolutionary War; perhaps they were an innkeeper, or an indentured servant; a founder of a religious society, or an early settler of a colony or state; you may even be a descendant of kings and queens—well, YOU may be eligible to join a lineage society!Through this talk, Adam will share his research, discoveries, and achievements made. Although not necessarily a “how-to” guide, Boyce shares sources and general information which will hopefully inspire others interested in researching and proving their connections with American and World history.
Adam Boyce of West Windsor, VT, has been a life-long student of history; specifically, his interest in genealogy started in 1985, with the inspiration of his paternal aunt, Miriam “Mim” Herwig. Adam’s first lineage society membership was the Vermont Mayflower Society in 2001, followed by the Pilgrim Hopkins Heritage Society in 2006. During the pandemic, he discovered numerous hereditary societies that he was eligible to join. To date, Boyce has memberships in fifty-three such groups. In addition to his great interest in history, Adam Boyce is a well-known Yankee fiddler, composer, and collector of antique clocks.
Class starts at 10:30 a.m. (ET) in-person at the Library.
