Welcome to our family tree!  We have a fascinating family history and some
extraordinary ancestors.  Here you will find their genealogies and pedigree
charts.  A companion journal of this family's history is available at
"Relatively Speaking" (http://www.familyhistory.wordpress.com). 

The information contained herein is prepared by Carla J. (Olson) Gade, first
great-grandaughter of Jennie Currier & Reginald Walton, and first grandaughter of
Virginia Walton & Nelson Mitchell, first child of Joyce Mitchell (Buckley) &
Kenneth Olson.  


Many of our ancestors first appeared in the New World during ?The Great
Migration? era (1620-1642) bringing forth a merging of Scottish and English
blood. The earliest settlers from England include the Noyes, Estey, Fiske, and
Coffin families who settled in Essex County, Massachusetts and the Frost family
who settled in what is now Kittery, Maine. The Curriers came from Scotland about
the same time and also settled in Essex County. Many of these people were
prominent citizens in their former home lands and in the new colonies they
helped to settle.

This genealogy shows some fascinating connections, and an interweaving of our
family heritage beginning about 1634. The Currier - Dickie genealogy shows the
decent of Samuel Currier.  The interweaving takes on an interesting pattern
where several of the original colonists from England marry into the Currier
family on one side and to the Dickie family on the other. While the Dickies were
also from Scotland, Jennie W. Dickie's maternal ancestors line can be traced
back to the Esteys and Fiskes. Over two and a half centuries later these
families are again brought together with the marriage of Jennie W. Dickie and
George E. Currier, Jr. in 1899, tying together a shared heritage of many of our
early New England ancestors.

Walton and Mitchell genealogies and histories are also being prepared.
