| I am researching the FREY family of Wayne County, NY whose origins we've traced to Bingen am Rhein, Germany, where on February 15, 1817 Adam Frey was born. In 1839, Christina NUSBICKEL of Wöllstein, Rheinhessen, Germany came across New York State by packet-boat on the Erie Canal to Lyons, NY and there met Adam Frey. They were married in Newark, NY in 1843 and became the parents of eleven children, born mostly in the area then called Arcadia, NY near the towns of Lyons, East Palmyra, Newark and Fairville. I am also tracing my mother's side of the the family who were Dutch. The family names were Vandemortel and Van den Ameele which was changed to O'Meal sometime after arriving in America. My mother's family also resided in Wayne County, in Williamson, Sodus, Pultneyville and Ontario. Thanks to a distant relative, (third cousin, once removed!) we've traced some of our family history back to Germany in 1689! And most recently, another distant relative contacted me with more information about the family of Frank Frey in Clarinda, IA. This was a great find, as Frank was one of my great grand uncles! We are in the process of sharing our files now and I will soon have many more Freys on our family tree! Welcome to the family Norma and Francis Frey and family! If you have any information, I would greatly appreciate your help. Those of you who have been in contact with me via e-mail, I will be "keeping an eye out" for your ancestors, too. On the slim chance that some of you may have had ancestors who came over on the Mayflower, or have their roots in the Plymouth, Massachusetts area, I have a copy of a book originally published in 1847 entitled "A History of Bridgewater". In it are many of the families who were direct descendants of many of the Mayflower passengers and all of their family information. If you are looking for information in this vein, send me an e-mail and I will see if I can provide it. Also, please check our other web site at Rootsweb for more information, pictures, links and ancestor trees! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~frey |
