Message | Hi Barb Unfortunately, I did not find my Jamestown/Dunkirk NY Ball - Palmer connection on your website, your website was still very impressive to comment on. I hope to soon organize a web site for my genealogy work and I just wanted to say again that I was impressed. The seperate link to cemetery pages caught my attention, as that is a valuable aid to locating family and non family members. Most of my Ball relations lived near Cassadaga, Fredonia, Dunkirk and a little township called Arkwright. My oldest known Ball ancestor was John Ball, originally from Vermont, born around 1794. Moved to Western NY in the 1820s and died in 1863. A side note, I accidentially came across a newspaper article, announcing the death of his son, that most of the family didn't even know about. He moved to Michigan in the 1840s and died early 1862. While the newspaper didn't indicate a state or a city where he was buried, I recognized the Todd Town cemetery name ... which is only a hour away from my home in Lansing MI. My researched uncovered a missing or forgotten son from our family history. As it relates back to your website, I'm just looking for clues and answers are found just about anywhere. Thanks for making your family records available on the web. Kurt Wanamaker, Lansing MI |
