YAHOO!!
I have found
a lot of information at the library to help me search all those long ago
ancestors, but I would like to tell you about my newest "yell out loud"
find. The library recently purchased three books by Hank Jones, Volumes
I and II of The Palatine Families of New York 1710 and More Palatine
Families. Thanks to the work Mr. Jones and his associates have done,
I now have information on my Passage family. I knew the name had originally
been Böshar with various other spellings and that they had come into
New York in the early 1700's. I also knew some of the collateral lines:
Casselman (Kasselmann ), Shoemaker (Shumacher), Getman (Gettmamm), Crim
(Cramm), but not much more. Now I know the families came from Zweibrücken
and Adelshofen and a little about them. Some of the information includes
names of earlier ancestors in Germany, births, and sponsors at baptisms,
marriages, and occupations. There are lists of children and who they married.
If you have early German's in New York, be sure to look at these three volumes.
Good Hunting!

WHAT
A GREAT TIME...
…to be
doing genealogy. Every time you turn around, somebody has transcribed some
old records and published them in a book. We are adding to our Library at
a steady pace thanks to the donations of many people. I, speaking for all
the membership, would like to thank everybody for these donations. Just
as we are taking advantage of the past donations, the future Library users
will be very grateful for the present day donations. As we look at the past
we must also look to the future. Here is a list of the newest books and
