...in the stacks of some obscure books shop...

...especially considering such places are, themselves, hardly obscure to those on my FL or wider readership... =)

  • Some descendants of Arthur Warren of Weymouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony by Warren Woden Foster; New England Historic Genealogical Society (January 1, 1998); ASIN: B0006R3ZCW - as I am growing more confident by the minute that I am, in fact, a direct ancestor of said Arthur Warren, this is the most useful title of the three
  • The story of the Bloods,: Including an account of the early generations of the family in America in genealogical lines from Robert Blood of Concord and Richard Blood of Groton by Roger Deane Harris; Priv. print., G.K. Hall (January 1, 1960); ASIN: B0007DTAFQ - on account that said direct lineage to Arthur Warren involves a grandmother in the Blood family, this is of only slightly less importance
  • The Warren family: Ancestors and descendants of Moses Warren of Warrensville, Ohio from John Warren of Watertown, Massachusetts with allied families (Unknown Binding) by Allene Beaumont Duty; Xerox Reproduction Center; 1st ed edition (1984); ASIN: B0006EIL4C - this one is only of value as a curiousity, at least at this point; sadly, out of the three, it is the only one that can be found on Amazon.com; doubly sadly, at $150, it's not a quick pick

On a related note (harrumph!) there is a very definite coat of arms used by Arthur Warren - and some how Dr. Warren (of kicking-Revere's-horse-off-on-a-sartain-ride fame; not to mention starring in a number of Liberty's Kids episodes, and, along the way, starting some goofy school for other doctors - Harvard Medical School, I think, not that anyone will have heard of it...) wound up with the seal on a ring; as of this moment that's the only implication that there may be a relation there. That - The Doctors Warren of Boston: First Family of Surgery - is one book I *do* have, so we'll see what happens once I read up on it.

Anyway, I'll probably be looking into the heraldry there and maybe that of some of the other families - be curious to see what the Clan Riddle (ETA: which would be here) has and all.

Have you looked for these books anywhere besides Amazon.com? Addall.com is a good place to find obscure books, since it searches a whole bunch of book sales sites. Out of curiosity, I checked a bit. The first of your three books can be found there for $65 for the 1890 edition and $28.50 for a 1911 reprint. (The link to buy the latter is: <http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/bookdetails?bi=519232805>

I just kind of randomly got started with genealogy for my own family yesterday. I'm already hooked! It's fascinating!

I'm liking the MyHeritage.com's Family Tree Builder program. They do the face recognition meme and also have a family pages piece that is beta-by-invitation only, but the FTB is a free download.

That sounds cool! I'm using Legacy 6.0 Family Tree. Apparently it has add-ons that you can buy, but the standard edition is a free download. The entry and features seem really nice so far!
