Cheney Genealogy

Charles Henry Pope's "The Cheney Genealogy," published in 1897, has been re-issued by New London Librarium in two volumes. Part I follows the descendants of William Cheney, who arrived in MBC in 1635. Part II follows John Cheney, who arrived at about the same time. The publisher is calling for anyone related to anyone in the book (over 900 Cheneys) to contribute genealogical information for Cheney descendants born after 1895.

 

Join us the 3rd Saturday of the month, September through May (January excluded), for a noon social, BYO lunch and 1pm lecture. 

Meetings will be online until the pandemic ends (Centre Congregational Church, 5 Summer Street, Lynnfield, MA).   

Parking available at rear of building off Main Street.
