While there are many family records that extend for four or five generations in these extracts from the History and Directory of Yates County, New York, you will find that records on many of the surnames DO NOT extend to that extent. In rare cases, I have added information from other sources, especially with regard to families who were related to my father's Bunce and Kress ancestral lines as well as distant cousins on my mother's side of the family, for which I or others have done further research, and include the surnames of Adsit, Ayers, Boyce, Bunce, DeHaven, Gabriel, Heald, Henderson, Hoagland, Huson, Ketchum, Kress, Loomis, Lord, Maring, McLoud/McLeod, Murdock, Norris, O'Brien, Ovenshire, Randolph, Raplee, Reed, Ryal, Seaman, Sheppard, Slaughter, Spicer, Starkey, Supplee, Wagener, Walling, Wilkin, and Wyman. The other sources include census records, other books on Yates Co., New York, or records found on other web sites; in those in­stances, the additional sources have been referenced in the NOTES. Also I have added some information on several other early families that was forwarded to me by email from other Yates County researchers, since I first established this website in the summer of 2002. I cannot vouch for the accu­racy of these other records, and each researcher should try to verify the information contained in records submitted by these other researchers.

Also, sometimes a surname is spelled in more than one way in this History, for example, Haines and Haynes, so you may want to check other spellings for the surname(s) for which you are searching. These variant spellings resulted from the fact that each chapter for each town in Yates County was researched and written by a different individual and also much of the information was based on oral sources, so a surname was spelled how it sounded to the person providing the information.

The name of each and every individual, which appears in the History, does not also appear here in this genealogical database, unless there was a record of him or her being related to another person in Yates Co., so even though this is a fairly good record of families, if you are interested in the name of a specific individual, that person's name may not be here on this GEDCOM website, but may still appear in the original book in some connection, such as on a list of members of one of the early churches, or a list of early merchants in the area, so please also check my Index to the history to verify whether or not that person's name is in the book.

Lastly, to give present-day descendants an idea of what life was like for their ancestors in what is now Yates County, New York, go to the excerpts from the History or search for a familiar name in the list below this line.
