I was born a POTTER.......... Donna Ruth Potter, d/o Francis Harold Potter and June Magdalen Gurney. Back about 1980 when I began my genealogical research and in an effort to learn my Potter lineage, I collected anything and everything on folks named Potter (especially in New England). Soon I had learned about my ancestors but had a huge amount of information that deserved to be shared to help others. Thus POTTER PROFILES was begun. In the 15 years of its existence, I published 50 little booklets comprising nearly 3000 pages of Potter-only information. Then the Internet took over! All that information was digitized and Illya D'Addezio has included it in his www.liveroots.com database where you may search it for free. I've begun this blog in hopes that it will be a forum to continue the sharing that began a decade ago. How might best we all share information? Please indicate by your comments below what you think and I'll decide where to go with this Potter Profiles blog. I think it will be fun and worthwhile!
We knew a Neta Bold who had been married to Frank Potter. Neta was from Vernon County, WI. Don't know where Frank was from.
ReplyDeleteMy husband's grandmother was Bessie Potter.Her father was Ira Blaine Potter son of Levi Potter. They all were KY and North Carolina. Look forward to hearing more about Potters on your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward in following you. I also have Potter in New England, Massachusetts to be exact. Welcome to the world of blogging.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the geneablogging community! I was excited to see your blog, because I have Potters in Pennsylvania. I will post more when I have time.

Hi, I have Potters originating in Oxfordshire, England. They also spent time in London in the 1840s/1850s. My branch of the family immigrated to Australia.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is a great idea! Sorry I have not found it sooner. My husband and I recently made a trek to Ipswich, MA to visit the ground where Anthony Potter once lived, worked and worshipped. It was fun -and I was so fortunate to connect with the Ipswich Town Historian while there too so that was an added joy! The result was a lot of pictures (that day), more digging into my Potter roots and subsequently I was able to put together a booklet with lots of pictures for my branch of the Potter family. Like you, I would love to find the morsel that truly connects Robert Potter as Anthony's father! I am wondering if you have any new info, since you first posted about that 3/2011?
