I am researching and collecting information for the family reunion which is held each year in our family church.Snells Bush Church ( St. Paul's Dutch Reformed Church) is located inManheim Township in Herkimer County, New York.This church was establishedin the 1750'swhere the Palatines settled in the Mohawk Valley.We are trying to up-date our mailing lists and if anyone wants information on the SNELL-TIMMERMAN-ZIMMERMAN -FAMILY REUNION we welcome you to contact us.The following are some of the important families that are linked: Bellinger, Shoemaker, Klock, Walrath, Nellis, Petrie, Garlock, Goodell, Broat and many others.
Many famlies settled for a time in the Herkimer- Montgomery counties before traveling west and there isinformation available on researching these families. The areawas mostly made up of farms and Herkimer County became the cheese capitol of the world during the 1800's.
I am also researching informationon the Fitton, Smith, Shepley, Jarratt,Booth, and Broadman famlies who were located in Hyde, Cheshire, England. If anyone has information on these families during the 1800's I would like to hear from you.
