Dan's Research
A small collection of info from almost 30 years of research and compiling. Researching: Mazur, Marriott, Obra, Light, Little, and associated family names, Nova Scotia and New England family names and their connections. Polish, English, Scottish, Irish, Italian, European, New England and Canadian Heritage.
I am amazed by how connected our North American families are. The humorous song by Ray Stevens often comes to mind, “I am my Own Grandpa.” My North American and British Isle ancestry for me reached a dead end.
Very favourable results of finding maternal ancestors in all root branches to 1750-1775. Some family lines back one or several centuries beyond, 1750-1775.
There will always be a trickle of coincidental information to add, such as: missing dates, events, and locations. In the master data base for my research there is close to 950,000 names of individuals. Out of this number more than 896,000 are connected in some way within 15 generations. https://mastersobra.ca/
