Welcome to SMALL Bits of History

 “In all of us there is a hunger, marrow deep, to know our 

heritage — to know who we are and where we came from.”

~Alex Haley 

My mom and I have recently started the journey to discover our family history. This blog is a record of our adventures. Genealogy has quickly become a fun and exciting hobby for us. We are trying to stay organized and document all our findings, but it’s hard not to get caught up in the thrill of adding new names and pictures. We have a lot to learn, and I know we will make mistakes. Feel free to correct us, in the nicest possible way, if you have any suggestions. We’re both very busy so we’ll fit our research in when we can. Posts will be sporadic at best. My goal is to write 1-2 posts a month, more if we have a lot to share, less if we take some time off. We’re looking forward to connecting with distant relatives and new friends, and working together to grow our family tree.

We are starting our research with my mom’s parents, the Small and Whichelo roots. Through these two lines, we have also found the surnames Brown, Nickerson and Worville. Our locations include Rhode Island, Maine, Canada and England.
