What is the connection between Columbia County and Steuben Co. N. Y. ? As I have done research in Columbia County, I have found numerous connections to this county. Not just with the family (KARNS/KERN/KERNS) I am researching but other families as well. The time period would be at least as early as 1860. It almost appears as if the males of Columbia County went to Steuben Co. to find a wife. Any one care to comment? Alice Kern
