On a stormy June evening in New Haven Colony, a ship was spotted sailing up the river from the harbor. Citizens ran to meet it, anxious for news of their own dear ship that had set sail for England six months earlier. As they approached, they were astonished to see it was the very image of their own ship – hanging in the air above the water as if made of mist. They watched in awe as bit by bit, the apparition vanished before their very eyes.

Welcome to Buried in the Attic: Stories Grandma Never Told Us. I’m your host, Lynette, and I’m a genealogist. Each month I’ll share stories I’ve stumbled across in my own research and interview other genealogists, both professional and amateur. We’ll discuss surprising, fascinating, and sometimes unsettling discoveries we’ve made in our genealogy journeys. Things our family never told us. Things our family never even knew. I’ll even take submissions from YOU, the listeners. Today you’ll hear a sneak preview of what’s to come. So follow me as we climb the stairs, open the door, and see what we find buried in the attic.
