This has been a bad week for genealogical "web-sters," it seems. ancestry.com went down; the auxiliary sites are still unavailable, to wit myfamily, rootsweb. The other day, Facebook was down.
Today, the site at thomasgardnersociety.org is unavailable since the server that supports it is having a file system problem which started earlier this am (no expected uptime given).
There will be more information later (see status.webhostinghub.com for now).
Remarks: Modified: 11/22/2014
06/22/2014 - 219 pm. Site is back up. No explanation. ... 235 pm. Chatted with support. They cloak the information under proprietary shields. Perhaps, I ought to look at what discussions there are in the community about failures/outages, of this type (which was said to be a disk failure, rather than some outage due to hacking).
06/22/2014 -- See the post related to the move from MicroSoft's OfficeLive to Hub (March 15, 2012). I still have my research notes. ... Too, a recent post about content management (earlier post in this blog, CMS again). ... Some have gone to the cloud which is a nebulous affair for the user. That is, the cloud provider hides the technical issues (or, a lot of them). Yet, the user is the one who has the responsibility for the content and its availability. --- ancestry.com? Yes, they stacked a whole lot of stuff on that node. The paying stuff is back (like ancestry.com). Those things that were freely available (and, in many cases, not started by the ancestry folks) are still out - will they come back? As in, there had already been a notice that myfamily.com was disappearing. Will they make an effort to get it back so that we can download our material (supposedly to be done before mid-July - or, that was the deadline before their outage).
06/24/2014 -- At last, rootsweb is back. ... Wait, it's an empty shell.
06/25,26/2014 -- rootsweb is back. Listing of 303 trees for Thomas (those with sources, showing descendants and providing the death year). ... Of the 303, 181 trees have parents for Thomas. ... Then, there are 43 trees with George being the grandfather of Thomas. ... See Whence came ...

First cold war
Genealogy (again and again) without history is incomplete (hence, the foresight of the NEHGS founders). Actually, a scientific attitude complements, too (in very many ways).
A recent Foreign Affairs issue has an article titled "The First Cold War" that reviews a book about the seventeenth century. Essentially, there were several cold years, in particular, during the 1640s, in which there were "more rebellions and revolutions than any comparable period of world history." Too, people starved due to frosts wiping out crop.
What was the effect on the New England experience? The below is from an introduction by Lynn Betlock on the Great Migration site.
A regular theme will be to look at world events in the context of the New England experience (such as, early losses over the winter of 1629/30 in Salem - 80 plus souls as resources could not support the demand).

- Another aspect of life in New England proved noteworthy: the remarkable health and longevity of the population. Many colonists lived to the age of seventy, and a substantial number lived to be eighty. Both male and female settlers in New England lived significantly longer than their English counterparts. This longevity is no doubt due to a variety of factors: dispersed settlement patterns, lack of epidemic disease, the healthful effects of a “little ice age,” clean air and water, possibly a better diet, and the original good health of most immigrants. Also, infant and childhood mortality rates were lower in New England, and the settlers produced large and healthy families — most having seven or more children. Accordingly, New England experienced tremendous population growth within the lifetime of first generation settlers. (emphasis mine)

Great Salem Fire of 1914
Quoting Salem State University about the Great Salem Fire of 1914:
The University is sponsoring, on June 20 and 21, A Centennial Symposium (see Program - stale pointer) and has provided some facts (stale pointer) related to the fire. For instance, over 1,300 buildings were burnt. 18,000 persons were displaced. It is estimated that a million came to view the fire.
The Nelson Dionne (stale pointer) Collection of photographs (see images on Google) will be on display during the Symposium.
The map shows the extent of the fire which started in the industrial district (top) and ran down toward the water. Many historic buildings were threatened. The fire came right up to area of the witch house.
We will look at this further, such as paying more attention to those burnt areas using older maps.
Remarks: Modified: 4/11/2024
06/04/2014 - Nelson shared a lot of his photos with me. I will see if there is a collection that is visible on-line. In the meantime, the list of photos shown by Google tells a whole lot.
06/18/2014 -- Reminder at Creative Salem (stale).
08/12/2018 -- Thomas, with others on Gardner Hill, was left where he was. Stones were moved over to Harmony Grove Cemetery. A few of those withstood the move, say that for Seeth. Most did not and are piled somewhere. At the burial site, though, the road was cut through. So, the remains? Well, moved to God only knows. Or, if the burial was away from the road, it is beneath some structure. Lots to think about. Reflect on. How to proceed into this mire?
01/04/2019 -- This topic will be followed more regularly this year (344th of 29 December 1674). We will initiate a discussion on WikiTree (see link in sidebar) in support of the research.
03/02/2019 -- We building an index by images for our portal to truth.

On June 25, 1914 fire broke out in the Korn leather factory at 57 Boston Street in Salem and was quickly carried by high winds across the city. By dawn the next morning the blaze had finally been quenched, but much of Salem lay in ruins. Single houses, apartment blocks, tenements, shoe and leather factories, and the Naumkeag Steam Cotton Mill had been consumed by the flames, leaving only brick chimneys standing as sentinels across the cityscape.

Massachusetts Magazine
Context: In our focus on Dr. Frank, we will be exploring his and Lucie's magazine further: The Massachusetts Magazine. See Talk page for volumes. See our TMM Page for a link to the TOCs and to the contents of each issue.
---
Earlier, there was some discussion about blogs and genealogy (some are for, some against). Too, one can consider the use of blogs in other fields.
Reminder: The technology behind the web was motivated by the need for dispersed scientists, using disparate systems while collaborating, to have easy access to the material that was related to their common interests or to their joint efforts. In brief, a means for sharing results in a more full sense than was allowed by email and attachments (even with ftp).
So, we ought to always be poking around the web and establishing some type of structure (will get back to this in a bazaar/cathedral discussion). Not only do new things come forth daily, what is presented from searching is very much a function of search methods and query configuration.
In such a mode (no, not trolling), I ran across, again, some more work by Dr. Frank A. and his sister, Lucie M. Namely, the Massachusetts Magazine that they helped get started and supported for several years.
My intent is to document this effort on Wikipedia (see my sandbox), but, in the meantime, this pointer is to Vol. I (Google books). In this edition, Dr. Frank writes about "Col. John Glover's Marblehead Regiment." He also has a nice little rundown of "The Founders of the Mass. Bay Colony."
On page 82, Lucie M. writes about a meeting of "The Old Planters Society" and mentions "The Gardner Family Association" which we will be researching. Both archive.org and Google have digitized versions of the first meeting of this group (June 9th, 1900). We referenced this meeting in an earlier post (Old Planters, Massachusetts).
Vol. I of Massachusetts Magazine was dated 1908. The magazine was still being published in 1917 (see the sandbox for a growing collection of digitized versions). The editor was Thomas Franklin Waters who wrote extensively on Ipswich, MA.
---
Some might say that, given the metaphor of cathedral/bazaar (relates to computing in many ways, to be discussed), that the blog is more the bazaar than the cathedral. Not necessarily so. Do we need structure as implied by cathedral? Yes, but ... (ah, Miscellany) ...
Remarks: Modified: 12/26/2021
05/21/2015 - Dr. Frank's article, reprinted: John Endicott and the men who came to Salem in the Abigail in 1628.
05/22/2015 - Not to be confused with an earlier effort by T.M. Harris, 1794 (Vol. VI, No.VII). ... Hathi Trust comes through again: list from Harvard and Princeton.
12/18/2016 -- Article about the TMM published in The Gardner Annals, Vol. III, No. 1.
02/16/2018 -- The last issue of The Massachusetts Magazine was in January of 1918. There were several factors that contributed to the demise of the periodical, such as WWI and the draft. As well, we will look more closely at the Spanish Flu which peaked in the fall of 1918 with Boston as ground zero.
02/12/2019 -- While researching earlier, we kept running into references to an old magazine. Did not pay attention until later when we saw Dr. Frank as part of the editorial effort. Then, we found out that he had been a regular contributor, to boot, as well as had his sister, Lucie. So, we dug into the archives and read all of the issues, in a browse mode. We captured the TOC of each issue. These have now all been printed (on paper), after TGA Vol. IV was completed in the fall of 2018. We have a page that is devoted to The Massachusetts Magazine.

Whence came Thomas and [Margaret]
One goal, all along, has been to tackle this issue. There has been a whole lot written about the subject (see comments on a massive collection) that I have seen the past few years. Anderson punted (Great Migration), but that he did was correct (the bracket around Margaret is a nod to the open issue) given what is known, definitely, at this time, and the genealogists' bailiwick. Some of the thoughts and talks were re-addressed when the Richard III discovery was in the news (and later).
We have been considering origins from various angles: motivation, the times, and more. Given the interest, and the amount of material, we will make it a regular topic.
---
Today, I ran across this findagrave page about the Thomas Gardner who died in 1635 (see Farmer and Frank). By the way, I really like the site and its intentions. Notice that the subject that we had multiple Thomas Gardners has been addressed (see summary in this post).
---
When putting together the annals look at Thomas' time for Gardner's Beacon, Vol. II, No. 6, it was interesting to see how references to Thomas, and opinions, changed over the years. Too, seeing the material in this format suggested the usefulness. Expect a more full "annals" to be collected.
Similar to this, there will be a list of things on the web. This work is for informational purposes only. Analysis will come later. Without a proper structure and indexing, there is just too much which can complicate matters more than necessary.
Much of the web material points elsewhere, so we will track those. Sound like a lot of work? Yes, but, taking incremental chunks will allow regular report. Of course, the question of resource comes up: yes, we'll collect elsewhere and point there from the blog.
Now, one benefit will be to collect look backs that were done in good faith. Notice that the annals report (see Beacon reference, above) lists various look backs that happened over the years. Fortunately, we had some that were almost current. Actually, Rev. Hubbard was of the time of Thomas' offspring. Some of these look backs go back across the pond.
Some proposals (conjectures?) appear to be interesting. Some have a lot of supporters. We will get these laid out, even those that have been shown to not have much (or little or no) support.
---
If you would like to contribute to the collection of material, please send an email. Especially, I would like to hear thoughts about Thomas' ancestry (John Goff's take, for instance). Actually, across the breadth of progeny, are there stories, etc., that ought to be brought forward?
Which brings up resource, again. We attempted, unsuccessfully, a Forum approach (see summary) last year. What method would be good to use (robust, secure, friendly, etc.)?
Remarks: Modified: 08/11/2020
05/22/2014 - Removed the redundancy from the title; kept it on the file (emphasis).
06/25,26/2014 -- rootsweb is back. Listing of 303 trees for Thomas (those with sources, showing descendants and providing the death year). ... Of the 303, 181 trees have parents for Thomas. ... Then, there are 43 trees with George being the grandfather of Thomas. ... See Whence came ...
07/02/2014 -- Featured in Gardner's Beacon (TM) Vol. IV, No. 2.
09/28/2014 -- A week ago, the record for the marriage of Thomas Gardner and Margaret Friar was discovered in Sherborne by John Cook of Minneapolis, Dorset files. This sets a type of focus. Looks as if some transcription work might be in order.
07/12/2015 -- Okay, turtle speed. But, we get there. Announcing a new project: Sherborne, Dorset. No doubt, it is about time. When finished with the data collection and analysis, we will present the strongest story (the prerogative of the family) that the facts, and abductive reasoning, will support. As such, we hope to demonstrate some very much needed research viewpoints.
08/06/2016 -- More on All things Gardners.
09/25/2018 -- Recently the Profile for Thomas Gardner on WikiTree changed to only have the two wives. This was due to research and discussion to which Gardner Research contributed. Earlier, there was a post that summarized the issue and accomplishment: Margaret, anew. Thanks are extended to all who made this update possible. The Profile is managed by the Puritan Great Migration Project sponsored by the NEHGS, publisher of the Great Migration books. So, Sherborne, as John said (see this page for images of documents).

Blogs and sites
We have seen genealogy sites abound since people could get onto a network with their personal computer, early on with dial-up modems (does that age me?). Some of the real old ones are still around with little or no modernization (but, then, technology ought to be backward compatible - thank you, AOL, for instance); many have disappeared.
Then, along came blogs (yes, these, as with FB, are things of recent memory - by the way, rather than bemoan computing, perhaps, old-encrusted genealogists ought to talk the universals - that, by the way, written by a 72 year old). Now, blogs are great, for many reasons, even if they are not peer-reviewed, in the traditional sense (but, even those things looked at by peers can have errors - errata exists for that reason).
The crux? As one searches, and I have been trolling the internet for five years now (in a smart manner to be described) thereby collecting 1000s and 1000s of things to parse and digest, one can get hits from all types of things of differing characteristics in terms of believability (being kind - too, though, pointing to the basic foundational issues of knowledge).
From time to time, little gems pop up, like this thing on Samuel Maverick. What I have read so far is wonderful. And, remember, it is in the context of Thomas Gardner's very large extended family. Note, though, that there is only one day's worth of input (albeit quite large).
Families ought to provide, for the rest of us, some condensation of the myriad of things written about their ancestors. We can discuss (the Thomas Gardner Society intends to address this need further - ah, yes, in the old context of requirements -- for now, note that the bibliography includes links to books, et al, emphasizing on-line, even Anderson's work is available on-line via NEHGS for researchers).
---
But, I had not earlier seen what Samuel wrote about New England: A Briefe Discription of New England and the Severall Townes Therein Together With the Present Government Thereof. (1660). I found the little bit that he wrote to be very informative. Why? He wrote it from knowing (see above) and having been there.
Aside: Of course, the post is being written from the perspective of a non-New Englander who is of the western mindset (big sky and all) by experience. On being introduced to the New England story (that is, beyond Thankgiving's little look at Plymouth), I had to take a crash course in the geography of Essex and its cohort counties. Let's set a little example. There is a trail, used in the mid-1800s, across a western state where the wagon crews took three weeks to traverse (daily grind - no, not mountainous terrain, rather the trials of prairie (say, like the Ingalls saw) travel - modern drivers are way off the mark from saying flat lands - as their perspective is biased from the leveling that results from engineering/paving roads) from one major location to safe stopping point. Nowadays, we can do the same journey between the two cities (one large and one small) in a morning's drive. Essex, actually Massachusetts, would fit within that area multiple times. ... Yes, we will be looking at the western migration of Gardner, and related, families. Samuel's descendants were involved in the west, to boot.
