Born and raised in Olean, NY, a mere 78 years old, living at Holland, NY. After I retired about 12 years ago I found time to chase down ancestors and relatives. Both of my parents came from Potter County, PA. Thanks to my Mother's birthday book and Merl F. Baker's excellent genealogy of the descendants of William Baker and websites such as Findagrave.com, I have been able to make a lot of progress. A few road trips to Potter and Cameron Counties, cemeteries and Historical Societies have been very informative.
