This blog is a record of my family history research which is mostly in New York State with some overlap into Pennsylvania and New Jersey. My research includes ALL my maternal and paternal families: Beismer, Beesimer, Debeck, Flower(s), Hogancamp, Hendricks(on), Hulse, Mattice, Odell, O'Dell, Oliver, Platner, Vande(r)mark, Wormuth, plus some related families. The current blog image is the chimney of the Willowemoc Acid Factory, I'm told.
Today, I was lead to a new resource that should keep me busy for a long, long time.
Ancestor Hunt is a free web site that provides links to a variety of resources and records important for family history research. Some are better than others. I just spend about an hour looking through quite a few church records and found a few things.
I recommend taking a look at the web site to see if there's anything there for you.
That's it; just a quick note to let you know about this resource.
Enjoy!!

Ebay can be a source of interesting family history treasurees. Think about it.
There are bibles, photos, postcards and a variety of paaphernalia.
I last bought the following from a book on the history of Onondaga County:
I'm conducting a One-Name Study on the Wormuth family, with variant spellings. I don't know if I will find a family connection or not but it will illustrate and enhance the Study's blog.
I've found photos and various things that provide tiny clues for various branches of my family tree.
I bought this wonderful photo years ago:
