Vermont

Averages will natually vary considerably depending on which part of the State you are interested in. The NE Kingdom is considerably colder than Franklin County and the Burlington area (warmed by proximity to Lake Champlain) and the southern part of the state. The mountain regions can be down right arctic (and indeed tundra ecosystems have survived from the ice age on the tops of several higher peaks). That said, the averages for Burlington (our largest city) are: Average daily high: 53 F Average daily low: 34 F Overall average: 43 F Which would be a typical day in April or October Considering the dramatic range of temperatures in Vermont, such broad averages are of little practical use. However, you can easily find more detailed information at any number of state information and weather sources such as: http://www.go-vermont.com/Burlington/Weather/

Burlington, Vermont, is located at approximately 44.5 degrees North latitude. Cities at a similar latitude include Quebec City in Canada, Geneva in Switzerland, and parts of northern Japan, such as Sapporo. Additionally, some regions in northern China, like Harbin, are also at a comparable latitude. These locations experience similar seasonal climates due to their proximity to the same latitude.

IMPROVED ANSWER:

The people of Vermont during the colonial period were considered an independent republic. This basically meant that the people lived in a condition they were satisfied with, and had no interference with outsiders in their daily lives.

Just like before the state of Texas became a part of the United States, they also had what they considered to be a "Republic."

Such situations means that the people rule. By majority rule, they elect the representatives who will run the area the way the people want them to. It was the form of government that would eventually cause the 13 Colonies of the United States to crave for such a government, and not be forced to continue to be under the rule of King George III.

Oh, dude, Vermont is actually known as the Green Mountain State, not the "Don't tread on me" state. That slogan is more associated with the Gadsden flag. So, like, if you're looking to avoid stepping on anyone's toes in Vermont, just watch out for those green mountains instead.

No. Vermont became the 14th state. So, it was the first to become a state after the 13 colonies opted for statehood.

Montpelier is close in proximity to Quebec Province, where French is spoken. As a result, a significant percentage of Montpelier citizens speak French.

Vermont was considered a part of New Hampshire for many years. At one time, western Vermont was considered part of New York!

From 1778-84, Hanover and a number of towns in Grafton County seceeded from New Hampshire. They flirted briefly with the idea of forming a separate state together with a group of Vermont towns--"New Connecticut" would have been the name and Dresden, the corner of Hanover where Dartmouth is located, would have become the capital. However, they settled on union with Vermont as a more practical way in which to assure association with their friends across the river. They were admitted to the state of Vermont in 1778. After much conflict, they finally dissolved ties with Vermont, and, in 1784, joined the New Hampshire state legislature.

I started studying my genealogy several years ago, and the 1880 census records are very helpful. I assume that you have a known ancestor whose father (or mother) was born in Vermont. Just remember the census taker did not always get things right. He may have questioned someone else living in the household, such as a child or boarder or even a neighbor. I often come across information that contradicts information from another source. Do you have more than source that states the ancestor was born in Vermont?
