This Home Page researches the family history on my mother's side of the family, whose historical location was within the Hudson-Mohawk Valley region of Upstate New York from colonial times. My intent is to provide genealogical information on the descendants of Russel Brewer, b. 1804 in Broadalbin/resided in Edinburg, NY; Stephen Tuper, b. 1819/resided in Broadalbin, NY; John Sprung, b. 1800 in Schodack, NY/resided in Caroga, NY; Abraham Dorn, b. 1794 in Montgomery County, NY/resided in Caroga, NY; and Henry Countryman, b. 1798/resided in Ephratah, NY.

I started this Home Page in memory of my mother - Dorothy Joan Brewer-Dwyer who was raised in Gloversville, NY. She had an interest both in the local history of this region of NYS and in her genealogical history, and had acquired quite a bit of genealogical information during her visits to the NYS Public Library in Albany, NY during the 1980's.

Although I have in my possession the documents she had acquired during her research, I have not been able to readily verify much of the 17th & 18th century information cited from the source documents she had researched at the NYS Public Library in Albany, because I reside in southern Maine. Subsequently, because I wish to cite my genealogical information mostly from primary sources (which I have extensively listed within this Home Page), I have decided to provide information only going as far back as those ancestors listed above. My intent is for this genealogical research to be accurate, rather than extensive & sloppy.

A Family History Book complete with all the family surname's listed above is planned for this Home Page in order to provide additional genealogical details. And, additional photos are also planned for his Home Page.
