Greg Rushton
Homeowner and software tinkerer in Easton, Massachusetts, spending most of my spare hours tracing family lines back through New England, the Maritimes, Quebec, and Italy.
About
I work in software and like building small, useful tools — the kind of habit that eventually turns into a GitHub account full of half-finished side projects. This one, gregrushton.com, is where the finished ones land.
Outside of that, I'm a beekeeper and genealogist by hobby: parish registers, and the occasional afternoon lost in a scanned 19th-century ledger.
Currently researching
- Rushton line — my great-grandfather Royal Rushton, of Oxford, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Working back through Maritime Canadian records
- Higgins & Damren lines — an open Mayflower Society (GSMD) application in progress. Documenting descent for submission
- Coarr & Phely lines — St-Sylvestre, Lotbinière, Quebec. Working from 1858 parish register records
- Mitchell line — a family of Maine. Building out the tree with primary sources
Also around to
Learning Spanish, French, and Italian.
