Looking for a man that came to Syracuse New York on, or about 1950. He came over on a work visa from the bahamas. Maybe some with access to an old phone book,could look up the name. Samuel Taylor married my grandmother Evelyn Robinson. I was told later that his real name was Hamilton King. Any info on how i could trace him or any ideas would be greatly appreciated. H.T.

Hi to everyone, and epecially to Russell who was precious enough to remind me to tell everyone where Sir William Johnsons OLD FORT JOHNSON is located. It is East of Amsterdam, NY on Route 5. I was told that it is still there, and open to visitors. Again, I truely appreciate all of the responses and will mention that Mr. Johnson was a very busy and unusual man, to say the least. Susie

Just wanted to thank everyone for their help on finding Fort Johnson. I appreciate it, from the bottom and top of my wee heart. And if anyone is working on the surnames WHITE, VANDENBURG or MOOR I would love to hear from them too. Susie in Colville, WA

I am trying to find the whereabouts of OLD FORT JOHNSON. While researching my JOHNSON family in New York, I began reading a book about Sir William Johnson and Fort Johnson: "Here Sir William lived for five years, when he moved into the large stone house at Akin which he called Mount Johnson until 1755, when the place was surrounded by a palisade and renamed Fort Johnson." I am currently researching JARED WHITE from Skaneateles, Onondaga Cty, but was hoping one of you might be able to shed some light on Fort Johnson. Thank you in advance. Susie in Colville, WA

There is a microfilm tape that you can rent from the LDS Family History Library that is entitled: Vital records of Onondaga County and other localities in the state of New York, 1799-1913 / collected, arranged, typed, and indexed for the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society by Lester Card. It was filmed in 1941. It includes indexes, cemetery, church, and probate records from Onondaga Co and other cos. - Cortland, Madison, Ontario, Oneida, Otsego and Oswego. Call Number: US/CAN Film Area 0017837 item 2-7 The tape was difficult to read, faded, and wasn't very useful in my search for family. However, someone else might have more success with their research. best regards, laurie ackels
