Research for Martin's Line--Orison E. Snow, b. 1817; Tolland, Hampden, MA

I want to find a family line for my son to work on. I thought it would be really neat to have him working on a line on his father's side. The problem is that most of Martin's ancestors come from Denmark, with a few from England and Scotland. I know nothing about international research. I really wanted a line with U.S. roots.

I found it! Here is the line I found:

Orison E. Snow, b. 1817, Tolland, Hampden, MA
Orison has one daughter Frances Snow. The a quick look at the 1860 and 1870 censuses indicate he had more children than that. There is plenty of research for Orison.

In addition, Orison's brothers and sisters appear to have their basic temple work done, but their lines don't progress forward much either. So, this is a great place for my son to work.

Now to trace how I found Orison:

* Orison E. Snow, b. 1817 he is the son of Tilly Snow and Lucinda Moore.
