Genealogical Principles (7-week online course via Boston University)

Completion of online course with final grade of B- .

NOTE: This online course was a gift from my mother. This online course took place from May 11, 2021 to June 28, 2021. I never had any formal training in genealogy (up until now).

For well over 30 years I have completed many family histories on numerous families. In June 2008, as Archivist for the Hingham Historical Society, I taught a Genealogy Workshop Class on the 2nd floor of the Historical Society which was attended by 11 students from Hingham and nearby communities. From 2005 until 2009 I was Archivist and Genealogist for the HHS. Completed genealogical research on Litchfield, Trowbridge, and Cushing families, property on 68 and 74 School Street. During 2009 I was Private Genealogist Consultant to continue on genealogy research for Meg Kenagy from Portland, Oregon (referred by Suzanne Buchanan Executive Director at Hingham Historical Society). Another major accomplishment: Ongoing research (since 1993 to present) on Tuttle Family from Tuttleville, Hingham, MA. Photograph of Tuttle Family (portrait originally purchased by Hingham Historical Society, 2008). Investigated, solved, verified, & documented final identification as James King Tuttle and wife Henrietta Simpson. Discovered major breakthrough made in 2010 on Tuttle Family and connection to Simpson Family, and Massasoit, "the Great Chief Sachem".Tuttle Family and Tuttleville, Hingham Research on Tuttle Family (which was originally started back in 1993) with approval from the late Robert Green (d. 2013) who wanted me (and only me) --to work on the Tuttle Family History, and the history and origin of Tuttleville, Hingham, MA. Recognized for my genealogy work, as Guest of Honor, at Simpson/Tuttle Reunion (Whitman, MA).
