May 2011 Quiz

(If you are looking for the answer to April, 2011’s quiz, scroll down to that post.)

This month’s quiz is moving a little closer to “immediate” family than last month’s.

Who was Elizabeth Cottrell (1671 - ????)? This one is not a multiple choice, BUT, I’ll give you a hint: The answer can be found somewhere on this blog…

Check back next month for the answer!

-- ANSWER

Alright, I admit this question was a bit ambiguous. The answer is that Elizabeth Cottrell was the 4th Great-grandmother of Roy Wellington Pendleton. She was married to Caleb Pendleton (-6). He was born 8, Aug 1669 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and died 10, Mar 1745 in Westerly, Rhode Island.

The point of this quiz was to emphasize the “Search This Blog” feature which I hoped would locate Elizabeth in a posting I had under the label “Genealogy”, but, I couldn’t get the search function to find her in that post…

So, after hours (and hours) of trying to get the Search function to work, I decided to abandon it altogether and redo Roy and Sophia’s genealogies. After hours (and hours and hours) of coding, I have added 2 new pages on the blog labeled “Roy” and “Sophia”. They appear in the upper left hand corner of the blog to the right of the label “Home”.

All of the people listed in those genealogies (with the exception of people listed under the sub-heading “Siblings”) are direct ancestors of Roy or Sophia. You can hyperlink backward in time to each person’s parents or forward to each person’s child.

I hope you find this to be a useful tool for exploring our family. I will probably add other interesting information about each individual, but that will be down the road a ways!

Let me know if you have any problems using the genealogies or if you find any misdirected links!
