I just searched a few names and found quite a few obits and other pieces of information that will be helpful to you. Many of the obits list the parents and birth place and birth dates so you can go back many generations. Just for Edith Hulbert Eseberg Higgins I found her parents obits,Homer and Ella Hulbert,(maiden name for Ella and her parents names) and her grandfather, Eben Hulbert (it lists his parents, too). On Edith's obit it states that she was a member of the DAR so you will be able to trace back at least to the Revolutionary War. I didn't search Ella's parents names but there should be info on them. Here is the site www.fultonhistory.com I search in quotes "Carl Eseberg" obit for wife, Edith Eseberg Higgins "Bernard Reape" obit for James Reape ?? father "Evelyn Keddy" obit for Homer Hulbert, father of Edith "Leo Prievo" ??obit for his mother "Homer Hulbert" obit for wife, Ella obit for Oscar his brother "Eben Hulbert" many articles of interest Most articles are in the Boonville, Watertown, Lowville, Adams papers. You may have to sort out the articles as other papers are there, too. I will post some other sites that you may be able to find info on later.
