  1. Online I found what I believe is a presentation that you created – The Heart of it All: A New Hampshire to Ohio Migration Case Study. Is there any chance I can purchase a transcription of the presentation. I have been attempting to break down a brick wall for 20 years and this is a new avenue I am pursuing. I need to determine the migration route that my Noyes family took from Hebron, NH to Meigs County, OH in roughly 1816 – they are documented in 1815 in NH and in 1819 in OH. My brick wall is the birth of a son (my gr gr grandfather) around 1819. I need some proof besides circumstantial to tie him to his parents. Thanks in advance for your time.

    1. I don’t have a transcript for purchase yet. I am working on some video opportunities but don’t have them up and running yet. In the meantime, I am available for speaking engagements, if you have a local society who hosts all-day seminars, I’d certainly be willing to come and speak!
