This is a very mixed site. My interests are varied. There is, of course, my family. I provide a view of the present and the past with a large helping of genealogy. Robert Lord was the first of my family to arrive in the new world in 1634, therefore, I have devoted space to him and his family and some of his ancestors.
I spent the early years of my youth (through college) in Ipswich, Massachusetts and I have always retained an interest in its history and its legends. My grandfather was a storyteller and I was always eager to hear his tales. Unfortunately few of the stories were ever written down. I have added some I remember and a few that I have found over the years. There are also several poems and many photos. As time has gone on since I started this site, my Ipswich material has expanded and now takes up the greater part of the site. I have added a more complete Table of Contents to each section of this site to better guide the visitor.
For the past thirty years I have lived in Bellingham, Massachusetts. Its history begins about 100 years after Ipswich and provides a contrast. Taken together, they provide a rich sample of two different colonial experiences, both in time and culture.
This site is like a small town. It is meant to be wandered through. There are some signs to direct your way, but there are also many nooks and crannies that I hope will surprise and delight you. Wander around and hit a few links and find what I have left. I hope that if you get lost, it is in an area that interests you.
