My family are mostly from Germany (Prussia) and France. They arrived in NY via Castle Garden in the 1880's.
My husband's mother's family were part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and original founders of eastern Long Island. One 9th great grandfather was the 3rd Patroon of Staten Island when the Dutch were the settlers of New York City.
