About Me

I found an ancestral chart started some years ago by the Steuben County Historian for my mother's Underhill ancestors who lived in Bath, Steuben County, New York and later in Corning, New York. I wanted to fill in the blanks so started searching and found a lot of my father's ancestors (who immigrated from Ireland at various times). I later found more of my mother's ancestors in the 1790 US Census in lower Manhattan.
