The Scism family has Ulster County roots back into the 1600s. I am still trying to organize a family wide genealogy of this line. My direct line is through my father, whose DNA proves out to be from the McCann family of North Adams Massachusetts. Previously in Troy NY. Looking for the lines that come through Orville Franklin Scism of Shandaken. Looking especially for Scism family to compare DNA with. -- Jeffery G.
