Dorchester Descendants Celebration, June 25, 2011
Bettina Blake
On June 25, 2011, the first Dorchester Descendants gathering took place at the houses of the Dorchester Historical Society. The day’s events included illustrated talks on family history, genealogy and care of artifacts plus the 350th birthday party of the James Blake House (1661). Visitors who live in Dorchester now and visitors whose ancestors resided in Dorchester at some time in the past four centuries came from all over the country to meet new friends and distant relatives, many for the first time.
