Welcome to Our Ever Widening Circle!
BLVD = Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village Descendants Association
OUR FACEBOOK GROUP: Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village
Welcome to the family! Our goal is to bring together the descendants of Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village lineage into our “Ever Widening Circle” — connecting cousins, sharing our Chagum history, and keeping all our members up to date with the latest research. Whether you’re a confirmed descendant or a friend of the Village, you belong here. 💛
How to Become a Member
- Say hello and share your contact info — address, phone, and email — so I can add you to our descendants/contacts list for newsletters and updates. Don’t worry, this information is kept private! We’re building our current mailing and descendant list right now, so please make sure we have your latest info.
- Good news first — there are NO Association membership fees at this time! Joining is free.
- Tell me how you link to Barkhamsted Lighthouse Village, with proof of descent if you have it. Here’s the fun part — I have a lot on this line in my own research, so more than likely I can prove it for you! If not, you may need to prove it through your own research. Anything you share for proof becomes part of our research.
- If I need to do extra research to verify your line, there’s a small research fee: a $25 deposit is due upfront (it goes toward your total) — $50 total with complete records. Full research: priced per case — Coni will quote based on the work involved (some cases take many hours). All other research is priced per job, depending on the work involved.
- Keep an eye out for our newsletter! I send out 1 a year — and I’d love for family members to send in their important events: births, deaths, marriages, and more. And here’s something new — send in your family photos too! If you’d like your photos shared in the newsletter, just say so — with your permission, we’ll include them. 💛
This will forever be part of history and I truly want to record all we can for future generations.

What You Get as a Member
Once we get everything up and running, we’ll be offering each Descendant/Member an ID card — $10 for adults and $5 for kids, plus shipping ($1.00 for the first card, $0.25 for each additional card in the same envelope) — this just helps offset the cost of making them, and anything left over will go toward the 2025 gathering. A sweet little note: these ID cards are keepsakes only and hold no legal or tribal enrollment value — they’re simply to show you’re a true descendant! ~
Come Join Our Circle!
Whether you’re a descendant of the Village or a friend cheering us on, there’s a place for you in our Ever Widening Circle. Come join the family — we can’t wait to meet you! 💛
