The only surname book I've found to date is:

Warren Ladd, The Ladd Family, A Genealogical and Biographical Memoir of Daniel Ladd, of Haverhill, Mass.; Joseph Ladd, of Portsmouth, R.I.; John Ladd, of Burlington, N.J.; John Ladd, of Charles City Co., Va. (New Bedford, Mass.: Edmund Anthony & Sons, 1890).  The section on Joseph Ladd of Portsmouth starts on page 287.

The Ladd family website seems to have only data from this book, at least for the early generations of Joseph Ladd of Portsmouth.

UPDATE:  I just cannot get the formatting right in Blogger for some of these families.  I cut and paste from an FTM 16 ancestors report in RTF format right into Blogger and some of the lines indent.  I guess I'll have to edit the RTF file first.  It may be an OpenOffice problem.  Drat.

The second problem is the color of the names from 1 to 93 above.  When I edit it blogger, I Bold then make then red.  But they come out half black and half red for some reason.  It probably has to do with the order of doing the steps - it works best when I bold first, then make them red.  But I copied this part of the post from last week's post.  Double drat (I'd use stronger words but someone may Google this family and be unimpressed by my elocution).  Thank you, Blogger, for all of this frustration today.

Randy - The name Ladd and Little Compton, RI caught my eye. I actually went to the Ladd family reunion in NY a few years ago! My husband is a direct descendant of William's son, Samuel (1703). They are the branch that went to NY. I haven't researched the RI part of the family myself, but a distant cousin of my husband has.

Randy After all the posts about
source citations .

Why the false Geography in your
database ?

The Ladds were in Colonial America
And the " US " did not exist yet .


I hope you are entering the true locations during your database update .

Best of luck
