I am searching for information on the following families. All that lived in the town of Herkimer: CELIO, AIELLO, MANIERI, SERVADIO, and VALLESE. Also, the NOVOGURSKI family from Dolgeville, New York. Also the name CATRICALA, but I am unsure of where they lived.
My great-grandfather Pio CELIO, born 23 March, 1885 in Colonnello, Italy. He came to the US in 1910, and went back to Italy to marry Giovina VALLESE, born 1 June, 1885 in Tortoreto, Italy. They married on 27 December, 1912, also in Tortoreto, Italy. They had seven children all born in Herkimer.
My great-grandfather Americo MANIERI, born 22 November, 1891 in Palazzo S Girvasio, Italy. He came to the US in 1909, and was married to Clementina SERVADIO, born 22 September, 1891 in Arpoli, Italy. They had four children, with one being born in Italy, and the other three all in Herkimer.
My great grandfather Natale AIELLO, born 1890, in Chiavari, Italy. He married Caroline CATRICALA, born 1885 in Italy. They had four children, two born in Herkimer, two in Italy.
My great-grandfather Peter Leo NOVOGURSKI, born 27 June, 1886 in Lodz, Russia (now Poland). He came to the US in 1907. He was married to Mary Agnes CZERWIEC, born 1886 in Stasaw, Russia(now Poland). They had ten children all born in Dolgeville, New York.
If anyone has information on any of these family names, I would be most thankful to hear from you. Please let me know as I am trying to find siblings of my great-grandparents. Thank you.

I am searching for infomation on a Peter NAIRN listed in the 1790 U.S Census in Caughnawaga. I have no further info on him. His son, Peter Nairn/NARRIN, would have been born in 1777/78, married a Caterine STALL 29 Dec 1803 at the Prsbyterian Church, Johnstown, Fulton Co. They had three sons, William Jacob Lusk Narrin, John Stall Narrin, & Dewitt Clinton Narrin. In 1838 these four families came to Michigan, settling in Groveland Twp., Oakland Co. I am specifically interested in finding info on the death of the senior Peter Nairn. I suspect that he died between 1790 and 1800, as he does not show up in the 1800 census, but his son does. I am curious about the Caughnawaga Cemetery listed on this site. Does anyone have those records available to them? Nicole Marie Narrin Spangler.

Ottilia FREUND - Upon reading the article, her name hit a chord. Upon checking, Ottilia was my 6xG-grandmother on my mother's side! I would love to get that rose! I have checked rose catalogs with a friend who happens to be
a professional grower and her friend who is starting an antique rose business. They could not be 100% certain of the variety from available catalogs. Could someone please help me? Kathy. (Note: see article "Ottilia's Moss Rose" in our Women's Section)

I am researching surnames including HEGEMAN/HAGERMAN, JOHNSON and PALMER. I've located these folks in Fulton and Saratoga Counties, but
had never thought of Montgomery until today when I was searching a map for Vischer Ferry and came across the towns of Hagaman and Johnson in northeast Montgomery County. I found and searched the NYGenWeb site, which led me to the Herkimer and Montgomery Counties website, where I found only a little info on Amsterdam, a database of the Hagaman Cemetery (which had no recognizable names) and reference to a gentleman whose family came to the area from Dutchess County, as my Hegemans did.
Can you suggest any books, websites or other resources that might help
me? I'm interested in the history of the towns of Hagaman and Johnson, and where their settlers came from. Would also appreciate names of anyone also researching these surnames. Thanks! Hayes Hendricks, Lakeview, Arkansas
Arthur C. Groth Wed 12 Aug 1998
Hello: Could you give me some advice on how to find the marriage date of my
great grandparents, John George CHUBA and Anna Elizabeth EDDY? They were supposedly married in Little Falls around 1896. My Uncle told me that Herkimer records were destroyed in a fire, but I don't know how true that is. I would appreciate any suggestions you have. Thank you for your time. Art Groth.

SPONENBURGH, SPAINENBURGH, SPONENBERG: Jacob is the ancestral name that I am researching. It is beleived that thefamily first came to Fonda in the late 1700's and then were listed in the Herkimer Co. census later on.
Jacob married in either Herkimer or Fonda. I have made a search of the churches in both areas, and surrounding area, but I could not find any record of a marriage for him or for two of his children who were born in NYS: Mary Catherine--1827; Elizabeth--1832. It appears that Jacob, at some point between 1832 and 1830 migrated to IL and MO. Both Elizabeth and Mary Catherine marry 2 brothers: Robert and Abner Boyd. Can you help me at all? RoseAnne Kirby

Judy Bushey Sun 9 Aug 1998
I am trying to finding genealogical information on my dad's family. The family name of GOODCOURAGE is not common so that sometimes has helped out. Per the 1790 census, John Goodcourage, was listed as head of household living in Mohawk, Montgomery county NY. He had 1 male child under 16 yrs of age. and two daughters. From the Revolutionary pension info, he died July 25, 1807 in Montgomery County and his wife, Sally, died in 1838 at age 76 in Amsterdam. Do you know of any way I could find out more information about them, i.e., where John was born (?US); where he lived in Mohawk, did his children marry. I really would like to find out about his parents and what country they are from. I am new to the family search. Any information or direction is appreciated. Judy Bushey. Thank you.
Mary Ross Sun 9 Aug 1998
My great-grandparents were married in Newport, NY in 1866. Their names
were Jeremiah HASSETT and Bridget O'DONOVAN. I assume they were married in a Catholic church in Newport. They had two children while in Newport -- Mary and Cornelius. They eventually settled in Crawford County, Iowa. I am interested in finding marriage records, birth or baptism records for Mary and Con, or, possibly a death record for Jeremiah's mother Margaret FLAHIVE HASSETT (uncertain if she came to this country).

Charles D. Gates Sat 8 Aug 1998
Looking for information on my gg-grandfather. His name was Joseph D.? GATES, b. abt. 1830, m. abt 1850 to Mary Jane (Last Name unk.). Family history says he lived was born and raised in Elm, NJ. I'm having serious doubts. Joseph had at least three children, Henrietta (Nettie), Mary, and Herman Benton Gates
(my g-gf). Herman was born in either Elm, NJ or Williamsport, PA on
09/19/1858, Henrietta was older.
Herman, at least went to Frankfort, West Hill, Ilion and N. Ilion for a good number of years. His children were, Clayton Herman (b. 1895 in Ilion), Joseph Orrin (b. 1899 in Ilion or FL) , George Lewis (b. 1891 in Atlantic City) and Mabel Jane (b. 1886 in Winslow, NJ) By 1905 the whole tribe minus Joseph was in FL. If anyone can help me with this conundrum, please supply marriage, census, or any other facts. Thanks for everything. Charles D. Gates

Daniel Levi KLOCK was born 8 April 1838 in Montgomery Co., NY. FHC records indicate that he was the son of Daniel D. Klock and Nancy ALTER, who married 26 Dec 1833 in the Reformed Dutch Church at Ft.

I am interested in exchanging information with others researching the
ancestors and descendants of Anna PEACOCK (1783-1851). Anna Peacock was born in Burlington Co, NJ, the daughter of Adonijah Peacock and Sarah VOORHEES. Since Anna's husband, William BAIRD is believed to have moved to Montgomery Co in 1796 (age 15) then perhaps Anna Peacock was also in Montgomery Co and perhaps they were married in Montgomery Co. Anna and William Baird had twelve children born in Montgomery Co, the first being William Baird (Jr) born in 1804, and then moved on to Lysander, Onondaga Co, NY. In addition to the marriage record, I am searching for Anna Peacock's brothers and sisters. Sheila Strickland
