Hello. I have just joined this list. I have several Columbia Co. ancestors from the mid to late 1800's, and am looking for connections and descendants. Origins in Massena, St. Lawrence Co., NY and VT. Some later moved on to Minn. and elsewhere, others remained. They were farmers. Please contact me if you have info on any of these surnames of early Columbia Co. people.
