10,000 vital records of central new york, 1813-1850
The vital records in this work were drawn from marriage and death columns of various central New York newspapers published before 1850, specifically those published in the section of the state between Geneva and Utica. The bridegrooms and individuals who were subjects of death notices are listed in alphabetical order, marriage officials are identified in the appendix, and all others mentioned in the text are listed in the index. Towns of residence are not confined to central New York, and communities in the rest of the state as well as New England and the Mid-West are frequently identified. The records abstracted provide names, ages, dates, places of residence, frequent references to family members, and a good deal of other information.

10,000 vital records of western new york, 1809-1850
The 10,000 vital records in this work come from marriage and death columns in five western New York newspapers published before 1850: the Republican Advocate of Batavia, the Steuben Farmers Advocate of Bath, the Geneva Gazette, the Jamestown Journal, and Palmyras Wayne Sentinel. Birth announcements were not published in these early newspapers, but many of the marriage and death notices mentioned birth years, birthplaces, and parents names, and such facts have been recorded in this book. All persons who were subjects of death notices are listed in alphabetical order, marriage officials are identified in the appendix, and all others mentioned in the text are listed in the index. The abstracted records furnish names, ages, dates, places of residence, frequent references to family members, and a good deal of other information--in all a remarkable collection of data.

1850 census for the town of howard, steuben county, new york, and genealogical data on the families who lived there
The town records for the town of Howard, including vital records, were burned in 1957, making research especially difficult.

Genealogical gleanings have been abstracted from the 1850 Census with additional information provided from Bible records, family records, cemetery records and wills. Typical entries include birth and death dates and places, some marriages, names of spouse and children, burials, some ancestry, and migration of many who moved from Howard to other counties or states.

aid to finding addresses in 1890 new york city police census
The 1890 New York City Police Census fills the gap for the lost 1890 Federal Census. It covers the county of New York which in 1890 included Manhattan, the West Bronx and a few adjacent islands. It has not been indexed so you must find your ancestors by their address. This book indexes every address in the 894 extant books of the original 1008 books, listing the book number the address will be found in and a cross reference of that number to the film number at the Latter-Day Saints Library in Salt Lake City. It lists separately Asylums & Childrens Homes, Estates, Homes & Miscellaneous, Hospitals, Hotels, Jails and Prisons. With 114 of the census books lost, this book will save you endless hours looking for an address in a lost book. It will also alert you to the fact that some addresses are in more than one book. This book toke over five years to compile, so it was sold in sections to some genealogy libraries. Ruth A. Carr, Chief of the Genealogy section of the New York Public Library found it "A great asset to their collection," and it will be the same for your collection. When Mr. Jensen retired in 1984 he took up genealogy as a hobby. Since then he has self published many family books. He has also done much indexing for the Pinellas Genealogy Society at the Largo, Florida Library earning the Volunteer of the Year for the Genealogy section a few years ago.

ancient long island epitaphs from the towns of southold, shelter island, and easthampton, new york
Over the period 1877-1890, Mr. Harris visited all public and church cemeteries, as well as some private or family burial grounds, in the above-named towns of easternmost Long Island, New York that had been in use prior to 1800. For this publication, most of which originally appeared in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register before being reprinted, with additions, in 1900, he transcribed the inscriptions found on the tombstones situated in those burial grounds. The vast majority of the roughly 1,000 inscriptions refer to individuals of English birth or descent, many of whom had emigrated to Long Island from New England. The epitaphs alone ordinarily give the deceaseds full name, date of death, and age of death. Many of them also indicate the name(s) and relationships of surviving family members. Because the transcriber was a genealogist, he also compiled genealogical notes which shed light on many of the individuals who are represented in the book, and their families. At the back of the volume, the researcher will find a full-name index to the burials and a separate index to all other persons named in the inscriptions--as many as 2,500. Following is a town-by-town list of the burial grounds covered by Mr. Harris: Southold--Southold Village, East Marion, Old Orient, Orient Village, King Family, Southold Estates, and Hashamock; Shelter Island--Sylvester Manor Epitaphs; and Easthampton--Amagansett, Easthampton Village, North Ground, Early Easthampton, and Wainscott.

annals of oxford, new york, with illustrations and biographical sketches of some of its prominent men and early pioneers
“There is no where else such a picture of the transformation of our wilderness into fruitful fields and pleasant homes. It is a book which will grow in value with each succeeding generation, for the sources of such information are yearly becoming more inaccessible. Mr. Galpin has briefly sketched the lives of many of the descendants of our early settlers in their distant homes, and to them this work will be a precious memorial of their forefathers. “Here is most interestingly told many anecdotes of those pioneers. We see them building their homes, their way of living, household utensils; we learn of their social life, its comforts and deprivations, and of their sports and pastimes, of their schools and churches, of their early town meetings and their bridge building bees, of their barbecues and their cattle marks. The story of the early mail service and the old stage coach days is worth more that the price of the book.” Veterans reminiscences of Revolutionary War battles, scholarly descriptions of Indian antiquities, and quotations from classical works help to make this a truly delightful and readable history. It also contains a wealth of genealogical material on local families, some dating as far back as the 1600s. Includes a new fullname plus subject index.

atlas and gazetteer: new york state
This atlas will be an invaluable resource for genealogical researchers. Each 11" x 15" chart is extremely detailed and maps back roads (paved & unpaved), along with trails, forests, mountains, and all lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. Together, the maps in the set cover the entire state in the same fashion as the 1:250,000 series of geological survey maps issued by the U. S. government. A place name gazetteer identifies even the tiniest village and country crossroad. Most importantly, the atlas identifies many of the smallest watercourses which researchers can use to locate property and family sites.

battle of sacketts harbour 1813
The Battle of Sacketts Harbour on the Lake Ontario was a crucial event for America in the War of 1812. United States forces needed the harbor as a hub of offensives in Lake Ontario, along the Niagara, and in Lake Erie during the war. Although they defeated the British attacks with great difficulty, all their ship stores were burned in the battle. Without their ships, the Americans could not return to the offensive to seize Upper Canada. On the other hand, retention of this vital base allowed the United States to defend American territory from British offensives. Using primary sources such as personal journals and court records, Wilder tells a largely unknown story of how the fledgling United States Army and Navy built the base at Sacketts Harbour. He describes the incredible difficulties they encountered in supporting the base far away from cities such as Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburgh, and Washington.

bishop loughlins dispensations: diocese of brooklyn, 1859-1866, volume 1
Few works of genealogical information from Roman Catholic marriage Dispensation records have been published in the United States to help the family historian and genealogist trace their roots. The Diocese of Brooklyn was established in 1853 by Pius IX and John Loughlin, Vicar General of the Archdiocese of New York chosen as its first Bishop. The diocese included all of Long Island, which at the time was Kings, Queens and Suffolk Counties. Present day Nassau County (created in 1899 from three eastern towns in Queens County) was also part of the diocese. This volume of genealogical information taken from Dispensation records begins in 1859 and contains key information for the researcher. What makes these records so important is that they reveal genealogical information lacking from civil records such as births, death and marriage certificates, if indeed those certificates were filed at all. When a Dispensation record is complete, information includes: names of prospective bride and groom, their birthplace, their residence at the time of the impending marriage, names of their parents (usually mothers maiden name), name of church and date of Dispensation. There were various reason for requesting Dispensations, such as not wanting the Banns read of posted, a marriage of a Catholic to a non-Catholic, a marriage between cousins and a number of other reasons. This publication contains more than 5200 Dispensation requests and when the names of the parents are included there are more than 26,000 names and this is just the First Volume! Subsequent volumes will be published and end with the date December 31, 1891.

campaigns of the 146th regiment, new york state volunteers
New material and preface by Patrick A. Schroeder. No northern state provided more men for the Union war effort than New York. In the early autumn of 1862, with the Federal armies hard-pressed by a determined foe, and ranks depleted by battle and disease, the Empire State answered the call for volunteers. The “Fifth Oneida” Regiment - the 146th New York Volunteer Infantry - was conceived with a sense of patriotic obligation. War was a grim business - casualty lists from the recent bloodbath at Antietam attested to that. With the unfamiliar heft of knapsack and musket, the blue clad men of the 146th departed for the front as so many thousands had before them. They were fortunate to learn the profession of arms under the stern tutelage of a veteran West Pointer, Colonel Kenner Garrard. He expected his volunteers to live up to the standards of the “Old Army,” and the men from Oneida were proud to call themselves “Garrards Tigers.”

cd: early settlers of new york state 1760-1942
A consolidated edition of a scarce and very important periodical published between 1934 and 1942 and treating a state many consider one of the most difficult for genealogical research. Although Early Settlers of New York State is today almost unknown, even by veteran genealogists, its value is attested to by the reams of bible records and tombstone inscriptions, and masses of marriage records, church records, obituaries, and family records found within its pages. To rectify this situation, the Genealogical Publishing Company has reprinted the entire work, consolidating the original nine volumes into two and adding an introduction by professional genealogist Roger Joslyn. In addition, at the back of each of the consolidated volumes, GPC has added a complete name index. The two indexes comprise a staggering 425 pages and list approximately 120,000 names—no small achievement for New York State!

cd: the belgians: first settlers in new york and in the middle states with a review of the events which led to their immigration
Although New Netherland was a Dutch Colony, the author shows that the first settlers (as well as many subsequent ones) were Belgians brought over by the Dutch. They were French speaking Walloons, Protestant refugees from southern Belgium, and they were settled at various locations in what is now New York, and also in New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. This volume gives a detailed history of these people in Europe and of their participation in the development of America.

charles parish, york county, virginia history and registers: births 1648-1789, and deaths 1665-1787
The lions share of this volume represents a transcription of the Register of Charles Parish, York County, Virginia, which contains the earliest entries of any Virginia church record book in existence. For easy reference, Mr. Bell has re-arranged the contents of the original register into two separate alphabetical lists, one for births and the other for deaths. In the first instance, the researcher can pour over 3,500 entries of births, each one giving the childs name, the names of the parents, the date of birth and, sometimes, the date of baptism. The nearly 2,000 death records indicate the decedents full name and date of death, and, sometimes, the given name of a spouse or parent. Preceding the transcription of the register itself is a narrative history of the formation of Charles Parish and its relationship to York County. Prepared by Mr. Bell, a leading authority on Lunenberg County and Southside Virginia, the historical narrative discusses the origins of the parish, controversies arising out of the election of parish vestrymen, the arrival of parish ministers and their families, and various idiosyncracies found in the register. Every name found in the history and among the birth and death records can be accessed via the complete index at the back of the book.

collections of the new-york historical society for the year 1891. muster rolls of new york provincial troops, 1755-1764
This volume contains the muster of the various regiments and smaller organizations of troops from the province of New York that served during the Seven Years War in America--the war that eliminated France once and for all as a power in the New World. The muster rolls cover the entire period of that war, from 1755 to 1763, except for the records from 1757, which are lost. Genealogists will find a mine of information here, including the numbers and designations of the companies, the names of the privates and officers, and personal information such as height, age, complexion, place of birth, trade, localities where enlisted, and dates of enlistment. Also of special interest to both genealogists and those interested in the colonial history of New York is the Appendix, which includes a list of all acts of the legislature under which the various regiments and troops were raised, equipped, paid, and subsisted, as well as the official orders of New York governors relative to the war; lists of commissioned officers, deserters, and deceased soldiers; a book of military appointments and other military information from 1759, 1760, and 1761; and a list of warrants issued to captains for bounty and enlistment monies.

compendium of early mohawk valley families
With a Foreword by Henry (Hank) Z Jones, Jr. Twenty-five years in the making, the Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families is nothing less than a complete and concise record of every family known to have lived in New Yorks Mohawk Valley in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Under each of the families listed, the Compendium presents abstracts of all genealogical records pertaining to every individual of the surname, with the data deriving from primary record sources--marriage, birth/baptism, death, probate, land, military, pension, and census records. Systematically, under the heading of each of these record classes, it identifies every person of the surname of whom there is any mention in the records, then gives all relevant genealogical details (date, place, nature of event, etc.), and concludes with a precise citation to the source of the information. To give the reader a visual representation of the various places mentioned in the text, each volume contains a map showing details of the five historic districts of the Mohawk Valley: Canajoharie, German Flats, Kingsland, Mohawk, and Palatine. Originally all this area was in Tryon County, then, from 1784, in Montgomery County.

contributions for the genealogies of the first settlers of ancient county of albany [ny], from 1630 to 1800
The first settlers of Albany, New York were Dutch; in the 18th century, however, Albany claimed an admixture of English and Palatine Germans, the three nationalities together providing the axis on which this genealogical compendium of Albany families rests. Typically, the articles, which are arranged in alphabetical order by family name, give the names of husbands, wives and children and dates of birth, marriage and death, and they are laced with incidental references to land holdings, occupations, and places of residence. A key to Dutch surnames, which are occasionally or constantly omitted in the ancient records of Albany and Schenectady, is prefixed to the work. An index of 7,000 entries helps to coordinate this research. In the preparation of materials for this work, the compiler drew on the baptism and marriage registers of the First Reformed Church of Albany, laboring as well with records from other sources, such as wills, deeds, mortgages, marriage contracts, and a variety of other matter found in the offices of the Albany County and City Clerks.

deaths at auburn prison, cayuga county, new york, 1888-1937
Every family has its black sheep that seem to defy the research efforts of family researchers and genealogists. For instance, the majority of prison inmates pass away without any mention in the news or even an obituary notice. An entire class of records, including records from prisons, poorhouses, asylums and hospitals, are seldom accessed by researchers not because they cannot be accessed but because the researcher must not only know where to look to find these records, but he or she must also have traced their mystery ancestor to the point where they know that their name will be found in a certain record, file or register and in many cases this is nearly impossible to do. This unique family history resource contains entries for approximately 700 persons who died in Auburn Prison between 1888 and 1937, with the added bonus of a fullname index. Records are arranged chronologically. Part One, records for 1888-1895, contain name, place of birth, date and time of death, crime, term of sentence, race, cause of death, and remarks. Part Two, records for 1896-1910, contain name, date of death, name of relative, residence of relative, by whom claimed for interment, to whom or to what institution delivered, and date of delivery. Part Three, records for 1921-1937, follows the format of Part One.

early families of herkimer county, new york: descendants of the burnetsfield patentees (palatines of 1723)
In 1723 a number of Palatine families were allowed to take up lands in the Mohawk Valley of New York. Those settling in the bounds of the present county of Herkimer were known as the Burnetsfield Patentees and are the subject of this formidable new work. Between 1723 and 1755 the original Burnetsfield settlers were joined by other Palatine families, and by the time of the American Revolution the area was a prosperous community. This book deals with the families established in the area before the Revolution, and detailed genealogies are given for eighty-seven of the families. These families include Armstrong, Ayer, Barsh, Bashor, Baum, Bauman, Bell, Bellinger, Brodhack, Campbell, Christman, Clepsattle, Coens, Crim, Cunningham, Davis, DeMuth, Dockstader, Dornberger, Dygert, Eckler, Edick, Eysaman, Feller, Folts, Fox, Frank, Fulmer, Getman, Gray, Hager, Harter, Hartman, Helmer, Herkimer, Hess, Hilts, Hiser, Hockstatter, Hoyer, Huber, Kast, Kessler, Korsing, Lant, Leiper, Lentz, Lighthall, McGinnes, McKoom, Meyer, Miller, Moak, Orendorf, Osterhout, Petrie, Petry, Pfeiffer, Rasback, Richards, Riegal, Riema, Riemensneider, Ritter, Rosencrantz, Schell, Scherer, Schutt, Schuyler, Seghner, Shomaker, Skinner, Small, Smith, Spohn, Stahring, Steele, Thumb, Weaver, Wentz, Witherstine, Witrig, and Wholeben.

early new york naturalizations. abstracts of naturalization records from federal, state, and local courts, 1792-1840
The naturalizations and declarations of intention abstracted in this volume-some 10,000 of them-are arranged in more or less chronological order by courts of jurisdiction. Information given in the original documents varies considerably and is so reflected in the abstracts. The earlier records usually include the name of the petitioner (the alien), his country of origin, the name of the person who recommended him, and his place of residence. The later records usually indicate for each petitioner his name, place of residence, age, place of birth, port and approximate date of arrival in America, his occupation, the names and ages of his wife and children, and various other particulars-all grist for the genealogists mill.

early records of the city and county of albany and colony of rensselaerswyck: volume 4 (mortgages 1, 1658-1660, and wills 1-2, 1681-1765)
Published originally as History Bulletin II by the New York State Library, this work is composed of two parts: (1) a miscellaneous record of deeds, mortgages, bonds, powers of attorney, and depositions running from January 10, 1658 to November 4, 1660; and (2) a series of wills, inventories, and settlements of estates from January 5, 1681 to October 30, 1765. The contents, which were abstracted from records found in the Albany County clerks office, were translated from the original Dutch by Jonathan Pearson and readied for publication by A.J.F. Van Laer. The deeds, mortgages, and related property records have the virtue of tracing the chain of title to real estate from one colonist to another. The wills, inventories, and settlements of estates, which comprise about half of the volume, were translated from a manuscript volume in the clerks office entitled Wills, Part 1 & 2, 1691-1835; however, only those wills written in Dutch are included here. The remainder may be found in the [New York] Calendar of Wills, compiled by Berthold Fernow, which is also available from Clearfield Company. The wills, of course, not only disclose the disposition of property but also divulge the names of two or more generations of persons connected to each decedent. In all, the index to this volume holds the key to the identities of several thousand 17th- and 18th-century inhabitants of Albany and Rensselaerswyck.

free black heads of households in the new york state federal census, 1790-1830
Published originally in 1981, the work at hand is an alphabetical listing of all free African-American heads of household listed in the five U.S. censuses for the State of New York taken between 1790 and 1830. Since it was during this 40-year period that the New York legislature passed a series of statutes resulting in the gradual emancipation of the states slave population, the scope of this work documents the emergence of a completely free black population by 1830. In all, there are 15,000 references to freedmen, many of whom appear in more than one census. A few observations about the arrangement and contents of the volume are in order. The householders are listed by surname in a single alphabetical sequence. Persons for whom a first name but no surname is given in the census are interwoven into the alphabetical arrangement by first name. Accompanying each householder is the census year in question, his/her New York county and township of residence, and a page reference to the original record. While the sources given for the 1800 to 1830 censuses refer to pages found on the microfilm copies of the original census enumeration sheets, the 1790 references correspond to pages in the well known 1908 U.S. Census Bureau publication, Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States Taken in the Year 1790. Finally, the researcher must bear in mind that many free blacks of this era worked for and resided with white families. Since only heads of household are identified in these censuses, these black servants/boarders cannot be represented in this volume. Nor can the other members of the African-American households-except as one of the statistics attributed to every household.

gazetteer of the state of new york (1860)
Reprinted with an Index of Names compiled by Frank Place. Frenchs unsurpassed Gazetteer of the State of New York is a complete history and description of every county, city, town, village, and locality in New York. But more than that it is a record of the founders and early settlers of practically every locality in the state--an astonishing achievement and the reason that the book has remained among the top genealogical reference works for New York State. Information given for each locality includes founding (and founders), early settlements (and settlers), historical sketch to the time of writing, leading institutions, schools and churches, prominent and representative citizens, stories of general and local interest, statistics from state censuses, and names of natural and man made topographical features. Preceding this core part of the Gazetteer is a full 150-page survey of the government, topography, and institutions of the state of New York. This edition, which incorporates Frank Places Index of Names found in the Gazetteer, a 16,000-name index originally published by the Cortland County Historical Society reprinted with the Societys permission, is the most complete and most useful version of Frenchs Gazetteer ever published.

genealogical and family history of central new york: a record of the achievements of her people in the making of a commonwealth and the building of a nation
In Three Volumes. Cutters Genealogical and Family History of Central New York treats more than 750 families that were firmly established, by the time of the works original publication in 1912, in the central latitudes of the state. Based on a survey of the contents of the volumes, this region was broadly defined by Cutter as bordering Orleans, Genesee, and Wyoming counties on the west; the New England States on the East; Orange and Putnam counties with the Pennsylvania border on the south; and St. Lawrence and Essex counties on the north. Inevitably, one finds New York families included in the work located outside of this regionónotably in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties to the westóas well as many families who migrated from New England across the state. Each essay in this copiously illustrated work begins with an explanation of the derivation of the familys surname. Cutter then traces forward from the oldest known ancestor to the principal subject of the essay. This is followed by a detailed biography of that person, often with his photo, as well as an enumeration of collateral lines related to the principal subject. The index at the back of the final volume identifies some 6,000 descendants.

genealogical and family history of northern new york: a record of the achievements of her people in the making of a commonwealth and the founding of a nation
Publication of Genealogical and Family History of Northern New York, edited by William Richard Cutter, represents the capstone of Clearfield Companys efforts to reprint the regional compendia of genealogical essays pertaining to New York State that were originally published by Lewis Historical Publishing Company. Cutters Northern New York is the scarcest of all the multi-volume mugbooks on New York that were compiled by Mr. Cutter or his contemporary, Cuyler Reynolds, and we are grateful to the Easton Area (PA) Public Library for lending us a copy of this three-volume work, from which we were able to reproduce our reprint edition. Readers of the earlier volumes in the Lewis Historical Publishing Companys series of genealogical collections can be assured that the contents of Genealogical and Family History of Northern New York are wholly distinct from the families covered in other New York mugbooks. The thousands of principal subjects of the family essays referred to in the index at the back of Volume III were inhabitants of New Yorks northern counties and do not figure in the earlier volumes edited by Cutter or Reynolds and reprinted by Clearfield. Many of the families referred to in Northern New York at the time of the works original publication were inhabitants of the New York counties of St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Lewis, Herkimer, Hamilton, Warren, Essex, Clinton and Franklin. In many cases the family head migrated into the state from Canada, Vermont, New Hampshire, or elsewhere in New England. A number of these lineages, it should be noted, Mr. Cutter traces back to Great Britain over several centuries. Otherwise, Cutters Northern New York has the familiar arrangement we have come to associate with works of this kind. The compiler commences many of the essays with an explanation of the derivation of the familys surname; he then traces forward from the oldest known ancestor to the principal subject of the essay. Then comes a detailed biography of the family member featured in the essay, including, in hundreds of instances, his photo, as well as an enumeration of collateral lines related to the principal subject. The index at the back of the final volume identifies some 4,500 descendants of the main families listed below, which, in the aggregate, constitute a unique and previously inaccessible source of Northern New York ancestry. Abbott, Abell, Addoms, Adkins, Agens, Ager, Akins, Aldrich, Alger, Algie, Allen, Ames, Andrews, Arnold, Arthur, Atwater, Atwood, Austin, Averell, Averill, Babcock, Bagg, Bailey, Baker, Ball, Ballard, Ballou, Barber, Barnard, Barnes, Barney, Barnhart, Barrett, Bartholomew, Bartlett, Bassett, Bateman, Baxter, Beach, Becker, Bedell, Beers, Behan, Bell, Bellinger, Beman, Bennett, Bentley, Benton, Bero, Bertholf, Bickford, Bicknell, Bill, Blackman, Bohall, Boshart, Botsford, Bowen, Bower, Bowron, Bradford, Branch, Breed, Britton, Brown, Brush, Bryan, Bryant, Buck, Bullen, Burdick, Burke, Burkhart, Burleigh, Burnham, Burroughs, Callanan, Campbell, Capron, Carney, Carpenter, Carter, Cartter, Case, Casler, Cavanagh, Chadwick, Chagnon, Chambers, Champion, Champlin, Chandler, Chaney, Chapin, Chase, Cheney, Chickering, Claghorn, Clark, Clarke, Cleaveland, Cleveland, Clough, Coats, Coffin, Coggeshall, Cole, Collins, Collinson, Cook, Cornwell, Cox, Cramer, Crane, Crichton, Cristman, Crook, Crosby, Crowley, Cubley, Curtis, Cushman, Dana, Daniels, Dart, Davenport, Dawley, Day, De Lano, Delmage, Dence, De Vinne, De Wandler, Dewey, Dickinson, Dievendorf, Dimond, Dodge, Doig, Dominick, Dominy, Domser, Donaldson, Donnelly, Donovan, Doty, Douglass, Driscoll, Dudley, Dundon, Dunham, Dunn, Easton, Edwards, Egert, Egleton, Ellsworth, Elmer, Elmore, Emerson, Erwin, Estes, Evans, Everett, Everest, Fairbank, Fairchild, Farnam, Farr, Fell, Ferrell, Ferris, Fillmore, Finch, Fishbeck, Fisher, Fitch, Fitzgerald, Fitzpatrick, Flack, Flanagan, Flint, Flower, Fogarty, Forbes, Foster, Foulds, Freeman, Fuller, Fulton, Furness, Garlock, Gasser, Gates, Gaylord, Gebbie, Genaway, Giffin, Gilbert, Gilmour, Gleason, Gordon, Gould, Goutr |
