Where Do I Begin??

I was born in Jefferson Co. New York, but now I realize that was not my beginning. I became interested in Genealogy as a teenager. I would listen to all the older family members as they would talk of their youth. I found this to be so fascinating I could sit for hours and listen. My grandmother Vincent for one then Flora King, Helen Holliday, & Nancy Dixon just to name a few others.

As I grew up and married, had children of my own there was little time for listening to any stories but the little one's that they told.

Then one day I found that they also had grown up and I was the one telling stories. And I thought they will never remember all that I can tell them. So I began to gather in all that I could and write it down so in time it would not be lost or forgotten.

I thought at first this won't take long. I will be able to complete this soon enough.

I have now found after years of search and research that my work with genealogy will never be completed. There will always be a mystery person waiting somewhere to be found and added to my growing tree now filled with lots of golden leaves. I can't think of anything that has caught my interest as much as finding all the people who helped make me who I am today. And finding a LOVE for people I can only get to know Thu a picture, a letter, a diary entry or even an obit. Once you start to search you can never stop.

Special THANK YOU to those who have sent me articles or have given permission to use some of their work.

FUTURE PROJECTS

I guess this also could be called my wish list. I have stories and pictures of Marietta Holley who was a famous author from Jefferson Co. and my sister has some of the buttons from a dress of hers that a niece of hers gave my mother once. I would like to add a section on famous people and noted things from Jefferson Co. My family at one time were caretakers in the Brown Mansion in Brownville, my aunts first husband was a Fillmore and a descendant of President Fillmore. At one time she owned a Tyler coverlet which was donated to a museum.I have tons of old pictures,diaries,poems,Wills to name a few things to add. If I could make one wish it would be for someone to help with the transcribing of some of these things it does take a lot of time.If you have anything to add let me know and I will add it.
