Didn't find her in them but while looking around, in the genealogy books, I saw one titled "The Hoyt Family. That being my maiden name, I had to take a look. None of the names looked familiar. There was a member of the genealogical society there, who sugested that I go to the LDS Church. I did, and typed in my ggrandfathers name.......it was all there. Then I went back to the library to check the book again. As it turns out it was my familly. My ggrandfather had moved from N.H. to Booneville, Oneida Co. N.Y. in 1820. the year my grandfather was born in Booneville, Oneida Co. N.Y. and joined the Morman Church. From then I was hooked. In looking for my mothers grandmother, I found a cousin a few times removed, who told me my gggrandfather died in civil war and she had guardianship papers for my greatgrandmother, after her mother died. This kind woman sent me copies of those papers. For that I am very greatful. Still have a few brick walls and mostly on my husbands family. But I will keep looking. Audrey Boren audrey_boren@yahoo.com
