Poking around in some geneaology stuff, I have found a long-distant ancestress by the name of Tamazine Frost.  If I ever need a pen name or an alias, that's it!  She was born in Suffolk, England, in 1600 and died in Massachusetts in 1654.

That is, indeed, an awesome name.
What tools are you using to find this stuff? I'm not sure I could, but I'd be interested in finding more of my ancestors.

cool! i've got two neat ones: Relief Houghton, and Sylvanus Rice. I think Mr. Rice might be buried in the cemetery near Cris & SilentQ.

At first I didn't like the name Relief. Now, over the years it has grown on me.

Wow ~ you've really got Massachusetts in your blood! I went on a tour of the House of Seven Gables when we moved here, and the guide said that he was "new" here because his family had only been in MA for 200 years. I gave up on ever being considered a "real" Massachusetts-ian at that point.

We've been doing ancestry research recently too ~ Queen Aaflaeda is one of the interesting names I've found so far. I really love your nom de plume :)
