I received an Ancestry message from Shawn and Lois Potter recently, inviting me to check out a web page on their website called Renatus Press. They have a number o published books about the Roman Catholic religion and their Virginia ancestry,
The lineage to Shawn Potter has a Seaver person in it, and they wanted to know if I was related to them on the Seaver line. I am not -- because Shawn descends from a Henry Seaver, a German immigrant to Virginia in the 1700s, and I descend from Robert Seaver (1608-1683) who came to Boston in 1634.
I was intrigued by what they showed me on their website, What was most intriguing me was that they are both descended from Chief Powhatan and his daughter Pocahontas.
I offered to write a blog post about their website and their Virginia research, and they agreed to that. The web pages they wanted me to share are:
- Parents of Judith (c. 1712-aft. 1767) wife of John Williamson, Sr., (c. 1705-1757) – https://renatuspress.com/

- Biblical Greek – https://renatuspress.com/

"The last one contains information about our three Biblical Greek readers. During my studies at OSU, we learned about the importance of engaging in communication when learning a foreign language. How do you do that when learning a language like Biblical Greek? Read. But, reading is so difficult for students ... so we developed these readers that make reading and learning easy."
An interested reader can browse the website for much more information if they choose to! They have a number of publications available on Amazon for low prices and they are also availe on a Kindle Reader.
In his email Shawn noted:
"We are happy to share our work, and would be pleased if those who manage online trees -- like Wikitree and Geni -- would update their lineages according to our discoveries."
