Hello. This new blog will be dedicated to the family line in the United States of the descendants of William and Elizabeth Stickney. A genealogical book of that family was purchased by my great-grandfather Stickney.
After looking in websites of Stickney, England all morning, learning about the Fens (marshes) of that area, searching any number of genealogical websites, and trying without success to learn more about St Luke's church, I returned to this old book for reference, and realized it might be very helpful to others of the Stickney family.
The book is old and has many clippings inserted and yellowing between pages. There is a wealth of information contained within, but I'm not sure that scanning it is wise. I don't want to break its back.
So... I will begin by posting some information about the book, it's origin, the Preface and whatever bits and links of history I can find. If you are a Stickney descendant and can leave names, dates, places of people you would like me to look up in this book, I will be glad to do so, but I offer no guarantees. I am not a professional, just a person with a wonderful old book.
