Hi, I am researching BARON/BARREAU/BORROW, LAROCQUE, RIVAIS/RIVET, PETEL, BERCIER, BAUDIN/BEAUDIN, LEMAIS/LEMAY, to name a few. Joan

Having problems with connection (out here in California) - hope you get this. Researching John and Olive Forkey/Forthier and family while in Malone, NY. 1858-1870ish.  Originally Canada.  Especially interested in son, Samuel.  Haven't been able to find much or connect to other NY Forkeys. Got any suggestions. Star

Hi I am researching the following families in Franklin County...specifically...Chateaugay, NY: Coopy, Metivier/Matevia, Patenaude, Longtin. Thanks, Sara

Hello, Fellow NY Researchers! I am researching TRIM(M); GUYETT(E); ROBINSON; CHRISTIAN; FADDEN; FRENCH; McFADDEN; LAMPMAN; LaGROW, and lastly, DIXON. Most of these folks traveled back and forth between Franklin & St. Lawrence Counties, after migrating to NY from VT. I have gotten back to at least the 1700 in America on most of these lines, except ROBINSON. Wm. Robinson, born 1831 in Ireland was the first American.Robinson in this line. I have many collateral lines that may tie in, so shout out your surnames-I may have one of your long lost!! Hugs...Linda in Lucas, OH

The names that I am searching were in the Bellmont and Malone areas between 1835 and 1850. They came from Shefford and Covey Hill, Canada and moved on to Stephenson County, Illinois. I am looking for Isaac Kennison, wife Lucy, William Kennison, Lozana Kenison, Peter Kenison, Harriet Allard, Jacob Kenison, Mary Berry. Other names include SARGENT, LAMPMAN, ASELTINE, GAGE, HAYES, CURRAN. Carol

Hi-looking for GOWETT CLOOKEY/CLUKEY SWEET LeCLAIR/LaCLAIR Rose

HI, I'm looking for the family of a Joseph Hanna that lived in Malone, Franklin County, NY from 1910 until he died in 1942. He came from Prescott, Ontario originally. Any help appreciated. Mary

Andree Thankyou for the suggestion. I will check it out, but I do know my Packard's came to Mass. in the 1600's then slowly migrated West. I don't know why they chose Franklin County, New York to go to, but they ended up in Michigan from there by 1863. I have a gap from 1845 to 1863 that I can not find my David Packard. I also can not connect my family from the time they came to Mass. until they pop up in New York. I do know my David Packard was the son of a John Packard who was born in New York somewhere. That is all I know. They both had such common names. Was there a wagon trail through Franklin County or something? Susan

I'm Shirley Ouellette in Fort Myers Florida looking for Delorme dit Lemay in PQ in early 1800's. What a good idea someone had. thanks!!!!!

Hi, Agree this list as been very quiet. Would like to pass on a site that might be very helpful for many people. For instance Susan states she has reached a brick wall with her Packards - does she know that maybe this is really Paquette, a French Canadian name. Go to this site for an explanation and to search your names and their possible original versions. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~afgs/index1.html Would appreciate help with my line, any variation of BELEC - BELLECQUE- BAYLAKE - BELACK -BELAX. Regards, Andree Florida
