Hi Ron and all,
We won't be making the Aug reunion but are planning to do some sightseeing along the coast and Boston the last week of Sep. Has anyone stayed at the Fairfield Inn lately?

I'm trying to identify a Nora M. Colby b. abt Feb 1869 Massachusetts
according to all the census.
According to her marriage record she married 19 Oct 1892 William O Russ in
New Hampshire. On the marriage record her parents are listed as Abram Colby
and Mary.
William Russ and Nora are living in Hopkinton, NH in the 1900, 1910 and 1920
census and have 3 children:
Margaret V. Russ b. Jul 1895
Clarence K. Russ b. Feb 1897
Alice E. Russ b. Sept 1899
any help in identifying Nora and her parents would be greatly appreciated.
Ron

Alice - - - I have been meaning to get my Colby ancestry information
typed and organized and i just last week downloaded the new Family Tree
maker software for my new computer with Vista but i did copy some of the
hand-written pages i have that I can send to you but if you can't make
them out I will hopefully soon get all the information i have into my
computer. I will probably have to send two or three e-mails to you if
this is OK as our server limits the size of the attachmants and I'm not
sure how large they are seeing as they are scans of what i have. Let
me know if you want all this info as i have it and I will get it off to
you.
I am Sandra Jane (Colby) (Giroux) Bowman and have 5 daughters - all
Giroux's and one son a Bowman and a stepdaughter and a stepson. Father
is Maurice Wayne Colby, Grandfather is Moses Wayne Colby...
Right now family is arriving to work on our house so do let me know...

You know, I knew this would happen. When I read Mary's message I just
welled up with joy for her, thinking, "Somebody knows your line all the way back."
Of course, Ron got there first, and voila! Eight generations, all at once.
That's what's so great about the genealogy community, and why I can't seem to
get "done," though I've tried for at least 10 years to break the addiction.

A friend gave me a copy of the announcement of the 2003 Colby family
reunion information. My great-great grandmother was Addie Colby (born in
1859), daughter of Cornelius and Lizzy Colby. They lived in Corinth,
Vermont. I haven't been able to get the names of Cornelius' parents, but I
was wondering if there was a possibility that my ancestors could have been
a part of the Colby clan from which you are descended. I am very new at
this.
Thank you,
Mary McDuffee Nadeau

Christopher Colby
Christopher G. Colby, 58, of Cape St. Claire, died of cancer March 27 at Anne Arundel Medical Center.
Mr. Colby was born Sept. 14, 1949, in Minneapolis, Minn., to Naida Colby of Minnesota.
He came to Annapolis in 1976, where he became a chef at the Maryland Inn. A year later, he became the assistant manager of the small print shop at St. John's College, and in 1979 became the shop manager; he continued to work for St. John's College for 30 years.
Under Mr. Colby, the print shop expanded into a full-service facility that supported all of the college's most important functions. He tried to find environmentally friendly ways to cut costs while improving the quality of the publications, and enjoyed mentoring the students who worked in the print shop.
He was known by those who worked with him as a gentle and kind man, a hard-working and helpful colleague, and skilled and knowledgeable in his profession.
He loved to cook, fixing breakfast at 5:30 a.m. for his daughter, and was a gifted artist. He owned several looms, taught spinning and weaving, and was known for his fine wall hangings, shawls and rugs, and also his hand-crafted furniture and replicas of 18th- and 19th-century musical instruments. He was also a devoted writer and reader.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Colby.
Survivors include one daughter, Yve Colby of Baltimore; two brothers, Ray Colby of Minnesota and Leigh Colby of Oregon; and four sisters, Paula Jelinek, Gayle Colby and Brigh Haas, all of Minnesota, and Mary Slaughter of Wisconsin.
A memorial service will be held at St. John's College at a later date. Arrangements are by Hardesty Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be sent to the Caritas Society of St. John's College, P.O. Box 2800, Annapolis, MD 21404.
