Coni, I’m sure you may have come across them, but I don’t see any reference on your booklist. There were 2 Doty’s who wrote New York, particularly Livingston County Histories Edward L. and Lockwood L. Doty

Hi Coni,
Sorry I’ve been out of touch for so long! I know you have me your family tree a year or so ago when you helped me organize mine of Family Tree Maker; however, due to some serious computer problems a while back, I lost your tree. I need to confirm that our most recent connection is through your Caroline Gendron whose younger sister was Helena Gendron (children of Sophie and Raphael Gendron). Helena is my gg grandmother. Is this our most recent connection? If so, I’m wondering why we’re not showing up on Ancestry as matches? What is your Ancestry.com name so I can tell if I’m matching with you?
