great job on this blog/web page… I am not exactly sure what to call it oops!
I will say we don’t always have a meeting prior to our programs although we did talk about this today. We will at least keep people up on what is going on and when we will actually have a meeting. Also I would answer any questions prior to our program.
As far as refreshments go we haven’t had them of late but we will for sure at the coffee house…
Thank you for this great work Tammy!

I have a small trophy supplied by Paynes of Wallingford. The badge is difficult to decipher, but is something like”Wallingford Siotligom Communerde” I lived in The Swan in Cholsey some 40 yrs ago, and may have found it there . Can you shed any light on it? Regards Brian Reeve
I am trying to locate records from the 1800s on Simpson Hall Miller & co, specifically sales/sample catalogues, sales receipts and photos or etchings of their wares.
Are you able to point me in the right direction?
Thank you
Dear Ms. Bannerman:
I am a resident of Wallingford and President of Co. F, 14th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry, a Civil War reenacting group. A few years ago I presnted a program at one of your meetings on Joseph Pierce, a Chinese soldier from Meriden, CT, who fought with Co. F. Our webpage is http://www.cof14thcvi.com if you would like information about our organization.
2011 marks the commemoration of the Civil War that will last over the course of the next 4 years. If the society is interested in scheduling a Civil War living history event with both military and civilians, we are available. I will be pleased to add the historical society to our newsletter mailing list if you will send me an e-mail address for the society. Thank you.
I am looking for information on Moses Yale Beach’s second wife, Julia Ann Kelly. I am researching a Edward Beach Gallaher, Norwalk, CT and Julia Ann was his grandmother. Julia Ann and Moses Yale Beach had 2 children, George Washington and Julia Ann Beach(Ed’s mom). I noticed that Moses Yale is buried at the Center Street Cemetery next to Nancy Day, his first wife. Where is Julia his second wife. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you, Holly Cuzzone
Hello,
I am looking for information on a house we bought on Durham hill rd. I can find everyone on this street from the 1940 census but there is no way to know who lived in the house. Can someone contact me or point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Stephen, I have forwarded your inquiry to our president who also does the research. You should hear from her. Good luck in your search. Tammy
