My name is Bridget Kemmling. I live in Berlin, CT. I am a descendent of William Dalaba and his third wife Mercy Porter. Together they had a daughter in 1853 named Calista, who is my great, great, great grandmother. I was recently researching my own family roots with the help of my grandmother and discovered a small book that was put together by a family historian on the whole Dalaba Family, starting with William Dalaba born in 1799. If you are interested in learning what information I know, please e-mail me as I think this process is so fascinating. Good luck!!
