DIGGING UP OLD SHOALERS
My question is: If I want to attempt to locate an ancestor who is recorded in a ship's log as landing in the Isles of Shoals in the 1600's, can you recommend to me a good place to begin looking? A specific city or town in the area which might possibly have fairly complete records of that period?
S. Burrington
carartbc@ix.netcom.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: The Isles are today part of Rye on the mainland, so check the library there for early records. Also contact ISHRA the Isles historical society which has many active members. There is a library on the Isles during the summer with records, and many local towns have records of families that started on the Isles and moved inland. The Rockingham and Strafford County Genealogical Societies may also be helpful starting points.

SUMMER FESTIVAL NOW ONLINE
Please send me the schedule of events of Prescott Park's Arts Festival. I understand it is a very nice thing to take part in.
Sharon in Billerica, MA
SComeau204@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: Searching for a good outside hotlink, we discovered that the Prescott Park Arts Festival web site was a year out of date. Oops! Not our fault. So to help out, we've added the rest of the summer schedule to our 375th calendar. Thanks for PPAF for emailing us the info the same day. You can check it out by clicking below:

LIBRARY ADDS 375th RESOURCES
The Portsmouth Public Library has a bibliography (on the web) and a display (at the Library) in honor of the 375th. The books on the display may be checked out- they are going fast. We have a lot of "fun" stuff (videos, Anita Shreve's book, cookbooks from local restaurants, etc.) in addition to the serious history texts. Check it out.

RACIAL DIVERSITY IN PORTSMOUTH
My friend is moving to Portsmouth in September and would like to know what the racial diversity is like. i.e. percentage of African Americans.
Johane
mairojo@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: According to the 1990 census, Portsmouth (with about 26,000 people) had an African American of 1,100. Nashua and Manchester, much larger cities, have black populations of 900 and 600. The state of New Hampshire has an African American population of less than 1/2 of one percent, a slightly larger figure if you consider all people of color.

DUELING CELIA'S
While taking a wonderful cruise to the Isles of Shoals on Tuesday, I heard about a woman who gives presentations about Celia Thaxter. Do you know her?
Diane Z
FTZito@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: If you're looking for the woman who just spoke at the Bedford Woman's group, it is Joann Duncanson (nanajo@top.monad.net) who does not play Celia, but reads her poems and sings her music. There are two other Celia performers that we know. Stephanie Nugent (home phone: 603-329-6025) is working on a superb one-woman Celia show and has been playing the part for years. Donna Titus who does her impression of the Island Poet, is also the author of a Celia coloring book for children.

JOSIAH BARLETT'S BROOD
I am a descendent of Josiah Bartlett. My grandmother was a Bartlett. I am having trouble finding the names of all of Josiah's children. I realize that he and Mary had 12 children with the oldest being Levi. I know that one of Josiah's children had a son named Samson who was born on March 17th, 1842 in Jackson Co., Tenn. Samson married Elizabeth Maryberry in 1863. The two had 12 kids also.
Wendy Wuensche
Y5D48@TTACS.TTU.EDU

EDITOR'S REPLY: We get lots of inquiries on the family of our local signer of the Declaration from Kingston, NH. Our former Bartlett genealogy link seems to have gone off the air, so here is a new one with some family tree info. Also call the Nichols Library in Kingston and check with the NH Historical Society in Concord, NH which has a ton of Barlett letters, including a hefty book on the topic. By the way, the annual Kingston 3-day celebration is coming up August 7

SENIORS ON THE BEACH
I am the executive director of a senior citizen center. I also will be staying at the Hampton House Mon through Thu of next week. I understand you have a Senior Citizen Weekend? I would appreciate information regarding group travel, accommodations, and activities planned.
Dottie M of Gloversville, New York
holly@klink.net

EDITOR'S REPLY: You must be referring to the Hampton Beach event listed in their brochure as the last weekend of the season on Sep 18, 19, 20. You want info@hamptonbeaches.com for more info.

WANTS MORE HC BEACH PARKING
I cannot believe the lack of handicap parking at your beach, there are very few spaces. I wanted to go to the beach but couldn't find a spot near the beach. It seems you have more spaces for motor cycles than spaces for handicapped people. Motor cycle people in general can on average walk better than people who have walking disabilities. I believe that you should have a few more spaces for people like myself. I'm disappointed with your beach, and will pass the word to my disabled friends also.
Steve
sardi5@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: We're sorry to hear of your problem, and as a person with a disability, I can identify. But Tim and I are mere web writers and have no beach of our own, barely a plastic swimming pool on our income. Assuming you are talking of Hampton Beach, we'll forward your letter there. As a state park, certain regulations must be met. We spent 30 minutes looking for a non-handicapped spot there last weekend. Remember, NH has quite a few beaches, all listed below. (JDR)

TRACKING OL' BYRON
Read ("As I Please") with great interest about your old newspaper collection. I am searching for any info on my husband's great grandfather, Richard Byron, who lived in Portsmouth 1886 (have birth record of son George Byron who was born there). Richard was a Captain, Salvation Army. He was born Dublin circa 1868 a son of James Byron. Richard was married to Francis/Fannie. If you recall any article mentioning Richard would be glad to pay for copy and your time. Or if your collection is microfilmed, where can I get access....we visit Portsmouth at least once a year.
Ginny Byron
byron@ulster.net

EDITOR'S REPLY: Our paltry collection extends back only a few years. You need a genealogist for your ancestral study. Best bet, if you want to work on your own is to start with the Portsmouth Public Library which has the States and Union, Portsmouth Chronicle and other papers from your research era on microfiche. Or see the originals at the Portsmouth Athenaeum. Be prepared for a long haul. You're better off with city records. If you want a pro to do your study, we can recommend a couple.

POOR LITTLE POWDER MONKEYS
When I took a tour of the USS. Constitution last year, the guide told us that children were used to transport gunpowder among the cannons on the lowest deck, because they were small and more expendable than adults. He said they were called "Powder Monkeys." For a book I'm writing, I'd like to know anything you can tell me about them.
Jessica T
jessica@thecia.net

EDITOR'S REPLY: Yes, not the proudest moment in naval history. Thousands of boys, usually over the age of 10, were used in the early 1800s. Their value as ammo runners during battle made them key enemy targets. One tiny boy's uniform is on display in the Constitution Museum in Charlestown. In the gift shop there you will find every resource you need. Start with the kids magazine Cobblestone (Sept 1977) which has a short article "Life as a Powder Monkey."

FREAK PREMIERE IN PORTSMOUTH
I am very interested in the movie version of Freak the Mighty. When will it be released for general audiences? I have used the book as bibliotherapy for my Learning Disabled students and it is very powerful.
Sandra
sandranash@email.msn.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: We were rubbing shoulders with the author in his fishing boat last week and he informed us he has arranged a Miramax preview of the film here in town at the Portsmouth Music Hall in September with a champagne reception. General release is in October. Keep checking our Film section and ShoBiz for Freak news from the author himself. We still have the exclusive pictures online and Miramax is still not talking.

EDITOR'S REPLY: We see all, know all, Kathy. In this region it's New England Parasail & Jet Ski Rental, 3A Ocean Boulevard, (603)-929-4174. They are also in our video. Our of town you might try: Weirs Parasail, Lakeside Dr., Weirs Beach (603)-366-7723.

TRASH ON THE BEACH
My family and myself recently visited Hampton Beach on 7/18/98 and we were appalled and how badly it has been taken care of. We took a walk along the beach and we could not believe the trash left on the shoreline, we sadly watched all the trash being dragged into the ocean. I hope that someone can correct the way these people are treating our beach, maybe you should have someone patrolling the beaches and giving out fines to people who cannot pick up after themselves.
Lisa C and Family
calkins@cheshire.net

EDITOR'S REPLY: We'll direct you to the powers in charge. Oddly, we had the opposite experience last week and found the area surprisingly clean for over 100,000 visitors -- as beaches go. We dropped a little chicken roll-up on the pavement accidentally and a woman shot out of the beach office to clean it up politely. We saw a middle aged couple in a convertible warned to turn down their car radio or get a fine. Any other readers want to comment?

SERAPIS FLAG WAVER
Ever since my mother received a Serapis flag as a gift, I've been trying to find out the story on this beautiful flag. All I can find is the statement that JPJ raised the flag on the Serapis during the battle. Did he bring it along with him on the Bonhomme Richard? More info, please
Barbara M
unfortunately@www08.hway.net

EDITOR'S REPLY: Your mother has the Serapis flag? We didn't know it was missing. But seriously Barbara, just bookmark our JPJ Hotlinks page. We've pulled two items for you below on the flag and the Bonhomme. We're currently working with a local folksinger to get you the "Ballad of the Serapis" on RealAudio. We've not yet begun to fight, aboard our JPJ web site.

BIG PLANS FOR IRONSIDES
"Old Ironsides" is the finest ship in any "man's navy." I have many wall hangings in several mediums, including one that I downloaded. What I would like to procure is a set of plans for the construction of the U.S.S. Constitution.
Thomas E. Ellis Sr.
thomas.ellis@murraystate.edu

EDITOR'S REPLY: We're guessing few plans are more readily available since no ship has been more frequently rebuilt. Start with the excellent US Constitution Museum in Boston (top link, below), then see the Nautical Research Guild link. You'll also find two ship model companies libked here, from a 40" version to a ship in a bottle. They had to get the plans somewhere, right? Also check our Constitution Hotlinks page in the Old Ironsides theme section under HISTORY for more info.

FOUND INDIAN NECKLACE?
I found something that I think may be part of an Indian necklace. It may be made of small pieces of bone. I found it near my home in North Central Fla. I was hoping you could provide me with a resource that could tell me what exactly what I have.
John in Florida
riggs_jm@msn.con

EDITOR'S REPLY: We're still trying to solve the Mystery Stone Fish incident (click below) but will certainly circulate an emailed photo among our archeology experts. Remember, once moved, an artifact becomes extremely difficult to identify. Be sure to include a frame of reference in tight close-up photo against neutral background.

FREE MAP HITS THE TRAIL
One of your web sites states that a free map for the Portsmouth Harbour Trail may be obtained by writing to you "online." As I will be visiting Portsmouth later this summer, please send this map to me as soon as possible.
Dan in Maryland
GRANTPATEN@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: Sorry Dan, the limited-time free map deal has ended. We are victims of our own success. The $2.50 for each map was being paid for by local advertisers, but the program was so successful, with up to 100 guides requested per week, that PHT has been forced to request payment with your order. That includes postage. The colorful guide to 70 sites is still a super value. Click below for the address:

ONE-STOP COLONIAL REVIVAL GUIDE
Hi, I was specifically trying to locate your historic society. I am a Interior Design student at La Roche College. I am entering my senior year this fall and will be writing a Senior Thesis on the "Restoration of Historic House Museum Interiors." As the John Paul Jones House, and the Wentworth-Gardner House probably went through some restoration I am interested in anything you could tell me about how you went about restoring these structures.
Kim in Pittsburgh
kstarsha@hotmail.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: We count 21 Seacoast historical societies on our list (see below). And each of the more than two dozen historical houses in the region has its own historical group too, so your work is cut out for you. Best bet is to focus on key areas like Strawbery Banke or the Society for Preservation of New England Antiquities (both sites are clickable below). The Banke has a dozen houses and SPNEA has three in town and people who can help. The restoration occurred mostly during the "colonial revival" period earlier this century. Here are three excellent books on this topic you should get: (1) Architectural Heritage of the Piscataqua by John Mead Howells; (2) Building Portsmouth by Richard Candee; (3) and you should really get "Noble and Dignified Stream": The Piscataqua Region in the Colonial Revival 1860-1930 from the Old York Historical Society. The Little Professor Bookstore in Portsmouth may have them all (603-436-1777). Tell them we sent you.

WHY MARY LOVES US
Why we go to this web site ... (a) Some of our ancestors lived in NH; (b) We have friends in Derry, NHm (c) We live close to the Pacific coast and are moving to Alameda, an island just west of Oakland, CA. On a recent flight from Boston to Pennsylvania I had a good opportunity to see the East coastline. It's so different form the west coast; (d) You have an interesting and attractive web site.

HER FAMILY LEFT IN 1640
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy getting your Seacoast newsletters each month! I visited the area last week and can't wait to go back in mid-August for a family reunion (in Rye). I found out just last fall that my ancestors settled in the Hampton/Rye area in 1640. Too bad they eventually moved up here to Northern NY state (way up on the Canadian border) or I'd be happy to call the Seacoast region home.

LITTLE OL' CABIN IN RYE
I'm trying to locate the name and address of a small, cabin type Inn/Motel along the beach in Rye. From my recollection there were small cabins and it wasn't too far from Wallis Sands beach. We do so want to visit there and hope you can help. The Portsmouth Chamber does not know.
lesliemclaughlin@internetMCI.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: We are forced to use the dreaded Yellow Pages and this is what we find in Rye under CABINS: Hoyt's Lodges (603) 436-5350, Atlantic Four Winds Cabins 436-5140, Wallis Sands Place 436-5882 and Crown Colony Cottages 436-8923. Dialing is up to you.

THE "DOW" OF HAMPTON
My Great, great grand father, Henry Hampton settled in South Australia in 1838. He had lived near Chichester, West Susex, England. Can you tell me the history or origin for the town/location of your Hampton please. We are doing some research into the Hampton family history.
Gordon Dean Hampton of Australia
gcham@senet.com.au

EDITOR'S REPLY: We're working on our second Hampton web site due this fall. Currently, the early history of Hampton by Joseph Dow is being placed online via the incomparable Bobb and Bill at the Lane Library in Hampton, NH USA. To see the history starting in 1638, click below. Also don't miss our release of Whittier's poem "Hampton Beach," an ode to a quieter time.

CAN'T FIND WATER COUNTRY
I am trying to find a web site that might include information relating to Water Country that is either in Hampton Beach or Portsmouth. I need directions from 95--coming from southern New England. Can you help?
Ronda
rondao@webtv.net

EDITOR'S REPLY: We haven't seen one either, but it's a snap to get there. When you hit the crowded traffic circle from Mass, say a prayer, then take your first right toward Hampton on Route 1. After a few lights you'll see McDonald's and Yoken's on your right. That means you are on track. Keep going and "New England's largest water park" will loom up on your right. It is hard to miss. There is a waterslide on the beach in Hampton too.

CANDLES IN THE WIND, HAMPTON STYLE
I'm trying to gain information regarding the Sept.12-13th festivities at Hampton Beach. In the past my family and friends have always enjoyed this time of the year in New Hampshire. I own a craft business selling Ceramic Oil Candles. I'm presently trying to expand my visibility and would love to sell them at your Sidewalk fest.
Lucy of Hyde Park, Mass
Luki97@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: You want to talk to Maureen at the Hampton Beach Chamber (603-926-8718) who is in Mon-Wed-Fri. What started out as a small sale on the pavement during the Seafood Festival has grown into a major event with a waiting list, especially for craftspeople.

MARITIME ENGLAND FEST 1999
I am helping to plan a Maritime festival in Whitehaven, England to take place in June 1999. Part of our intended theme is to celebrate our links with the USA, and in particular with John Paul Jones. He served his apprenticeship here and later raided the town in the last landing on UK soil by foreign forces. I would love to have some involvement from the USA and would be delighted to hear your views.
Gerard Richardson esq JP.
Mailwines@aol.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: A few years back our mayor and a delegation went to Scotland where we officially apologized and were forgiven for sending JPJ to attack the British Isles in the late 1770s. Few Americans seem to know that JPJ was Scottish and went back to "worry" his own homeland, thus his image in England as a traitor and a privateer. (see JPJ picture below). We have passed your info on to our local maritime groups and will follow your event with interest.

EYEING JENNY
I AM INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT THE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: WHY ARE THE EYES ON A JENNY LIND FIGURINE BLACKED OUT ? PLEASE RESEARCH AND RESPOND.
LINDA L

EDITOR'S REPLY: Linda, please send money so we can go to Scandinavia and search for your answer. We don't even have positive proof the figurehead is the famous Swedish Nightingale. And we don't see where the eyes are blacked out in the first place. It is, after all, a large carving that was once attached to the bow of the ship. Jenny was, like us, just a blockhead on this question.

I will be visiting your area in September. I have two small dogs that I would like to bring with me. Would there be somewhere you may suggest in the Portsmouth area that could accommodate?
Pamela in Florda
jrosset2@tampabay.rr.com

EDITOR'S REPLY: Ann of the Animal Medical Center in Portsmouth (603-436-4922) offered a few tips for selecting a spot for Spot. Call, she says, to make sure the kennel owners are friendly on the phone, check hours of operation and ask for a tour. She notes that the AMC is open 24 ours a day with a licensed vet on site since they are also an animal hospital. Geoff Sawyer of Great Bay Kennels (868-1707) adds that kennels should be "very hands on" with lots of people playtime in the dog's day. He offers regular hours and suggests reservations since his boarding house (27 pens, 15 being added) is all but full in July already. Traveldog.com lists six kennels in the seacoast of NH (click below)in Hampton, Rye, Barrington, Newfields, Durham and North Hampton. Only AMC (above) is a member of the Portsmouth Chamber.

READER REMEMBERS "LOST BOUNDARIES"
Fading recollections of a young boy: The minister announced in early winter that the [Kennebunkport South Congregational] church had been selected for a movie scene some months before the "shooting", because of its end of the street location and many older looking homes along the street. This sounded rather exciting to us, kids. The week before he announced that the movie people hoped many people could "dress up" in old style clothes when they came to church, if they had them.

The Film Shooting: After the regular church services, the actors and the "church crowd scene" was paraded down Temple Street toward the church a number of times until the movie people felt they had enough 'footage' from enough angles. The filming seemed to take longer than expected.

A Personal Tragedy: Our mother said it was too late for our bribery (ice cream cones), that she had promised my sister and I, if we would be "extra good" in church and the filming. (ie) My big sister used to "kill me" on a regular basis, or if she felt 'things were too quiet. And ... Oh Yeah ! We weren't 1/2 mile from the Church when my Big Sister decided that since I had wanted to watch the filming longer, it was my fault that we were denied that ice cream. It was that morning, in which my youthful desire to become a Hollywood Actor died that morning under just another rain of senior sibling blows.
