Most of the families I'm researching had settled in the western New York area by 1900.Please contact me if you can help me fill in the bare spots on my tree.I have only been researching since March 2000, and don't have a lot of information yet, but I am willing to share what I do have.
My main "problem children" at this point are:
Kajetan and Victoria Pieronkiewicz:They were originally from Poland.I do not know which port they landed at, but they apparently changed their name to Harvey at that time.I know they spent some time in Michigan before coming to the western New York area.
Edith Grace and Oscar John Schank,Sr:Oscar Schank was supposedly from the Rochester, NY area.He is the earliest Schank to be buried in the Hartland Cemetery in the town of Hartland.He apparently came westward to the Lockport area and married Edith Grace Hosmer, who was from the Appleton or Newfane area.
George Washington and Sarah Warren:They were living in Newport, Pennsylvania at the time their son Maurice Wayne (he went by the name Wayne), was born in 1911.Some time after that they moved to the Newfane area.As of 1970, Wayne had at least 2 brothers still living in/around the Harrisburg area:Harry L. Warren and Bill Warren.
