MEET YOUR ANCESTORS... UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
The title for this section was coined by Rex Stevenson, originator of this site and contributor of the first profile of his own ancestor, "Captain Henry Eckler: Hero of the Mohawk Valley." The majority of articles below were contributed by site visitors and are a source of pride for their own family members to view on line. With a few exceptions, items listed are cross-indexed elsewhere on the site under their respective town or other major category.
