Cornell University has a portion of their website dedicated to the "Making of America". Eliz Peters says that she has gleamed tons of great information and even illustrations from the online scanned pages. I is not likely that any of MOA's offerings come up in the Google Books search at this point.
Her is an example that shows one of our ancestors. Nathaniel Turner. The link goes to a scanned page of Harper's new monthly magazine, Volume 17, Issue 97, Pub.: Harper & Bros., Pub. Date: June 1858, New York, Pages: 874. Nathaniel Turner is mentioned and it even has an illustration of his sword which is on pg. 3 of the magazine. Thanks to Eliz for this.
Thanks a lot for a bunch of good tips. I look forward to reading more on the topic in the future. Keep up the good work! This blog is going to be great resource. Love reading it.

Ives - Turner. Just found this by accident. My tree goes directly back to Nathaniel. (Nathaniel, Isaac, Issac, Isaac, Abraham, William, Josiah, George Arthur, Edward, Edward). This is the first time in my life to deal with a blog. Can't find any info in here yet on the Turner part except for Nathaniel, but I thought that I noticed someplace you said that you went to Isaac II. Feel free to contact me at my email. I will read more of this and try to digest it before I try to write again. I also sent your blog info to a cousin in Alaska, Don Haase.

Thanks for your input. I only cover ancestors on the maternal side of my Ives ancestors up to the point they married into the Ives family. In other words, only people from whom I am a descendent. So I only cover Nathaniel Turner and his daughter Mary who married Joseph Ives. As you see I do have a lot of information on Nathaniel as his life was well documented. There is also much on New Haven and elsewhere in CT where the subsequent Turners lived.
