This list was contributed by Lisa Slaski, prepared by Dick Nabinger, and coded by Martha S. Magill (none of these men are our ancestors, so further information should be sought from the resources listed at the top of the first page of this feature). Dick's family arrived in Herkimer County in the mid-19th century:

"My family search in Herkimer county centers around Nabingers with side trips to Miller and any other connections that I come across. My great grandfather, Jacob C. Nabinger married an Emma G. Miller in Herkimer Co. somewhere. Jacob came to Herkimer sometime between 1849 and 1852 when he was five years old with his father Andreas. I have the bare information back to Germany but only a bare start and hope to find more in Herkimer County." Dick Nabinger
