Hi Listers, My ancestors are from MA, CT, or RI into NY. My BROWNS suddenly appear in Rensselaer County, NY in the mid-1700s, and there are quite a few 'traditons' about just where they migrated from. But I have a good handle on some Middlesex County CT ancestors: HUBBARD is my specialty, with many families that settled Haddam, CT. ARNOLD, BROOKS, SPENCER, SHAILER(many spellings), many of which can be found on Tim Tuckers' site: www.haddam.com I have a huge number of databases to draw from, most online. Some put there by me, some by others. If you haven't seen Jane Devlin's wonderful site with over 400 databases, the url is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jdevlin I notice that several people on the List have ancestors who ended up in northern NY State, Lewis County, Oneida County, etc. etc. Usually going from CT to NNY. Since NY State is "the black hole of genealogy: your ancestors go in and leave no records, no trace" or maybe it's more like the Burmuda Triangle, some super ambitious person may take it into his/her head to get up a database of just those families. (Not me!) Coralynn
