I am researching various branches of my family as well as my husband's (Shutts).
Most of my data is comprised of Horton Family records as I am directly descended from Barnabas Horton who emigrated to America in 1635-1637.He first settled in Hampton, Mass. (now New Hampshire), and then settled in Southold, L.I. in October of 1640.His descendants moved to Orange County (Goshen) sometime in the early to mid 1700's.From there, they moved to Tompkins/Schuyler County, New York (Burdette, N.Y) near Seneca Lake, and from there into Tioga County, Pa. in 1837 (Delmar Township/Wellsboro, Pa.)
Also researching the William & Lucy Creeley family.They were my great grandparents.A majority of the family data I have centers around the Southern Tier of N.Y.S. (Olean, Elmira, N.Y.)& Northern Tier of Pa. (Elkland, Wellsboro, Tioga, Port Allegany, Pa.)
Horton is my Mother's paternal line and Creeley is her maternal line.My Father's surname is Austin; that lineage is being researched by several of my cousins.His maternal line is primarily Gates.I have some data on that family.
My Husband's grandfather was James Orville Shutts who is buried in the Oneonta, N.Y. area.I am still searching for James's parents.Have data on family from James Orville Shutts to present.
Been at this just shy of a year, and it is addictive enough to cause me to invest in a computer and the FTM software to help me organize my records.Will appreciate any help and willing to share information.
