I don't know if this is the person I am related to, but would like to check it out. My gr. grandfather, George Surprise was supposedly born in Essex Co., NY about 1852. His marriage record states his father as Moise Surprise and his mother as Marguerite, No last name. Do you have any other children born to these parents. Can you give me the phone number of St. John's Church? I don't have it listed here. Thanks for your help.
