             Gambell School Barnard VT                                              

HOST:

Carol Chezan, first generation Californian

My ancestors were in Barnard from the 1790's until the 1930's and before that in Massachusetts or Canada.  After a trip to Barnard in 1992, I became interested in genealogy.  This town of about 500, in 1992, was like a movie scene.  Its country store across the street from a lake that glistened with reflections of a white church on a small hill. I went there in search of a school house said to have my family name of Gambell.  We found the Gambell School (see picture above).   I plan to share my research with you and hope it will further your genealogical endeavors.  I am currently looking at films of original town records. 

I will be sharing  parts of "The History of Barnard Vermont" By William Newton, with  the permission of The Vermont Historical Society.  It holds a wealth of information within its pages.
