ABOUT
The Page's Webmaster
My name is Laurel Kennedy and I have been researching my family history for over 15 years now.
I've been helping family and friends with their research as well. I decided why not do this as a career, earn money doing what I love anyway. Make money and be able to stay at home with my children.
Be able to help others find their missing past.
So I created Laurel's Lineage
I specialize in researching in Wisconsin, Pennsylvannia and New York. But have also done work in many other areas including Germany, Holland and Scotland.
I will research an area you're having trouble with, help you if you're starting from scratch, help you with lookups in the Wisconsin area(Find cemetaries, church records, take pictures of sites, etc.),input any data you already have into the computer in gedcom format so that you may share information with others and also scan documents and photos for you.

About the Family Roots
On the Blackstone side I go back to Clarence Stacey Blackstone he was born aproximately April 3, 1879 in Halifax, Novia Scotia, Canada. He married Elizabeth Blakeley Urquhart on July 25, 1889 in St. John, New
Brunswick,Canada. He was a lumberman for the Great Northern Paper Company in Maine and went to work one time aprox. 1920 and never was heard from again. Elizabeth's parents were Alexander Uruhart and Agnes Herbison(spelling maybe wrong). Elizabeth is buried with her maternal grandmother Nancy Herbison.
On the Foote side I go back to Frank L. Foote who was born on March 14, 1864 in Pennsylvania possibly the Franklin Forks area. He died on Sept. 17, 1950. Frank married Anna B. Stockholm in 1900. Frank's Father is Myron Foote who died in 1870 from results of injuries from the Civil War. The Footes came from Lapshire, England in the 1760's and settled in Great Bend,Pa., they had 7 children one of which was Frank.

died on March 23, 1965. Her parents are Aaron E. Stockholm-DOB Dec,1837 New York & Elizabeth Coley-DOB April,1845 from New York. The Stockholm's came here from Sweden in the 1740's and settled
in Orange County, N.Y. They had a large family and in the 1800's several of them moved west to Illinois, Wisconsin and Oregon. Aaron moved to
Susquehanna County, PA. Aaron & Elizabeth had 11 children. Contact me for more information. Frank L. Foote and Anna B. Stockholm had a son named Myron Stockholm Foote and he married Jessie Ida Johnson,
