The Coffyn/Coffin Dynasty is a genealogical recapitulation of fifteen generations born in the United States. At first, I was going to title it The Coffin Saga Continues, but R. Gardner and Louis Coffin expired. I fell in love with a wonderful culmination of people belonging to my husband's family. I added the years before the stepping on US soil. There are millions more of people out there to be added. One can enjoy reading cover to cover about so many important individuals such as presidents, a Union Station president, aviators, college owners, and patented people besides farmers, teachers, doctors, etc. It is not the norm of "born and died" information.

Susan Boardman's unique embroideries tell the story of life on Nantucket while Betsy Tyler's biographies tell of the remarkable women who have made Nantucket their home.
This anthology features compelling, first-hand accounts of childhoods and vacations on the island of Nantucket, written by twenty-four senior residents. These true stories vividly bring to life the individual and collective experiences of native islanders and "washashores" alike and document island living, historic homesteads, and lineages of sea captains. You will witness the dramas of a whaling ship run aground, a tight sailboat race, and flying in a small plane through dense fog. You can almost taste the lacy seaweed pudding, fresh-caught bluefish, beach plums, and elderberry wine. You'll want nothing more than to visit (or return) and explore anew its sandy paths, bogs, and forests. The extraordinary details, wisdom, and wit found in these essays evoke the magic to be found there. Little Gray Island is an eloquent documentation of these authors' unique history and brings to life a Nantucket that may have been forgotten without them.
The comprehensive guide to finding your dream job.
