Index to Russell blogs

As we reach the end of a decade, I have now written 500 entries in my blog since beginning in February 2015. I’ve written on a variety of subjects, but there are a few deserve special recognition – stories about the Pierpont family, stories about my Russell ancestors, and stories about the history of my hometown, Wolcott, CT. I’ve written so many about these three topics that I thought it might be helpful to put together an index of all the stories in these areas.

This is the index for all those stories about the Russell family, organized into various categories to make it easier to read them (instead of doing a search in my blog and reading them in chronological order).
