Posted on: Tioga Co. NY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NY/Tioga/217 Surname: MONROE, OLMSTEAD, LOPEMAN, HOBBINS, GATES, LADU, COBB ------------------------- Sorry. The closest I come is Emily R LADU b 1826 Brown (Broom?), Shenango, NY. Emily's husband was from Woodstock, Ulster, NY, and her granddaughter married into a family from Candor, Tioga, NY. Her parents were Oliver Peter LADU d 1869 and Hulda JACOBS d 1881. She had 3 siblings that I know of. Sampson LADU/LA DUE b 1840, Hannah LADU and Alzinia LADU. I am still trying to connect to the LADUs (and the variants) that were around NY in the 1700-1800s. Many seem to be at Fishkill, Robout, NY, but I can't find a connection yet. Mike
