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.

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.
