Bio

While Genaology is interesting I know family from the mid-1700s and before. My 9th Great-Grandmother being "The Mother of New York", Catarina Tricco.
As most information found in family trees contains little if not any source documents I've found them to be unreliable and mostly wishful thinking, such as claiming to be Mayflower descendants.

I acquired a vast trove of documents with the passing of my mother including for my Day and Hougland/Hooglandt familys, including a liquor license from 1800 and a personally signed family tree from Benjmain Day around that time of the early 1800s, two oxen yokes used to bring the Hougland family to Euclid, ohio.
