Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):
1) The life of every person has events and decisions that have a risk factor that can significantly affect their life.
2) Describe a risk that one of your ancestors made that affected their life. How did it all turn out?
3) Share your information about an ancestor's risk in own blog post, writing a comment on this blog post, or put it in a Substack post, Facebook Note, or some other social media system. Please leave a comment on this post so others can find it.
Here's mine:
Robert Seaver (1608-1683) of England embarked on the Mary and John sailing ship from London, England to Boston, Massachusetts, arriving in 1634. He soon married Elizabeth Ballard (1616-1657), they settled in Roxbury, and they had seven children, but only five surivved childhood. Robert was a farmer, a land owner, served his town in a number of offices, and served his colony in the militia.
Robert's decision to embark was momentous -- his life was significantly different from what might have happened during his life in England if he had not embarked. He came to a new land, settled and had a successful life.
There are thousands of descendants of Robert and Elizabeth (Ballard) Seaver today all over the world, including his 9th great-grandson, Randall J. Seaver in California who pursues genealogy research and thanks Robert every day for his risky undertaking.
