Hi, Just joined the list and wanted to briefly introduce myself. I am not really new to genealogy, having first started this project 20 years ago in elementary school, but I recently got back into it after letting it sit idle for a long time, so I am just looking for any resources that I can find, and this seemed like a good group to join. Some of the surnames I am researching are: ALBIN, BAUMGARTNER, BURDICK, BUSS, BUSH, EBNER, ESSENWEIN, GODFREY, GWYNNE, HALLENBECK, HALSEY, KIPP, OSTRANDER, SMITH, TAYLOR, VOGEL, and WALTER. My family seems to be mostly centered around New York, although some were scattered a bit.
