HERKIMER COUNTY NY
Genealogy, History, GenWeb
Hello there! You've discovered the Herkimer County NY GenWeb page, part of the New York GenWeb and the US GenWeb Project!
ABOUT US! This deep and detailed site was formerly one half of Herkimer/Montgomery NYGenWeb, a county site of the USGenWeb Project that came on line in September 1996. The depth of our resources in over 20 years time is due to the time, effort and caring given by many typing volunteers to help their fellow researchers. Dozens of generous contributors have sent us information, tips and pointers to superb historical resources, and great feedback. Our genealogical offerings are only as good as our visitors' input. If you'd like to contribute some copyright-free resources, please contact the Site Coordinator. Don't let the plain brown wrapper cover fool you - this is a deep GenWeb site, over 1,000 files of great stuff, articles and photos. Enjoy exploring our growing sections and features, and happy ancestral hunting!
