On this website and blog you will learn many tips, tricks and sources for genealogical research on ancestors that lived in the Upstate New York communities from the Colonial Period onward.

Dick Hillenbrand has been publishing genealogy information on the internet since the 1980′s, all of which has been totally free.

After doing serious historical and genealogical research since the 1960′s a little bit of knowledge has rubbed off and it is happily shared.  There is no set pattern to the method or style of presentation of this information.  What you see is what you get, and you can’t complain about the price.

We will gladly add anything that you might be able to supply, or will cheerfully correct any errors or omissions.  Please contact us for details.  We LOVE to trade data!

This website and blog is supported by advertising and your purchases of products that we find useful and recommend help us to keep bringing you quality information on your Upstate New York Genealogy.

We respect your right to privacy and we will never spam or scam you.  Please refer to our Privacy Policy for more details.
