WELCOME:
Welcome to my new web site. This site will be the portal to most of my genealogy research, to reference material that I have posted for your use, and it will also point you to some gently used books that I have for sale, on-line.
Please use the buttons at the left to access those web pages.
BIBLES:
The bibles are 1700s and 1800s family bibles that I have purchased in antique shops around New York state. My usual practice is to post the family records on this web site, then try to find a home for the bible with a family member. Most of these bibles have gone to good homes. Where I can, I will list information about the current owner of each bible.
BOOKS:
I have an on-line book store where I have listed several hundred books, mostly hardbacks, including recent novels, sailing books, text books, reference books, non-fiction, and some genealogy books.
CDs:
I have only two CDs, with genealogical type material, available at this time. I am working on more, and when they are completed they will be added to the CD page.
CEMETERIES:
Most of the cemetery listings, that are on this site, are from the Town of Oxford in Chenango County, New York. I do have records from a few other cemeteries, one in Sullivan County, New York, and one in Cattaraugus County, New York, and one from Broome County, New York. Those are on-line here also.
GENEALOGIES:
I am actively working on the genealogies and histories for three of my ancestral lines. YORKS, my surname line from the New York Dutch line of Jurckse (1650). MILKS, my paternal grandmother's line from John MILK of Salem, Mass. (1662). BOWERS, my Paternal great-grandmother's line from Joab BOWERS of Chatham, CT, and maybe back to George BOWERS of Scituate, Mass (1636). For each of these families, there are web pages which can be accessed through the "Genealogies" button on the left.
GENEALOGY 101:
More about this at a later date. I haven't found enough time to get this section prepared.
