Resources for research

• Barbara J. Sivertsen: Turtles, Wolves, and Bears: A Mohawk Family History

Individuals researching the seventeenth and eighteenth century Hödinöhsöni and those who wish to trace their Mohawk ancestry will find this work a must for their libraries.

• William V. H. Barker: Early Families of Herkimer County, New York : Descendants of the Burnetsfield Palatines

In 1723 a number of Palatine families were allowed to take up lands in the Mohawk Valley of New York. Those settling in the bounds of the present county of Herkimer were known as the Burnetsfield Patentees, after the name of the grant made by New York Governor William Burnet, and are the subject of this formidable work.

• Henry Z. Jones: Palatine Families of New York

Hank Jones’ massive two volumes fully document the account of all 847 Palatine families who came to colonial New York from Germany in 1710. The volumes trace the American descendants of many of them down to the American Revolution.

• John M. Brown: A Brief Sketch of the First Settlement of the County of Schoharie by the Germans: Being an Answer to a Circular Letter, addressed to the Author by “The Historical and Philosophical Society of the State of New York.”

One object in republishing Judge Brown’s First Settlement of the County of Schoharie by the Germans is to bring into general circulation an important local historical work now nearly extinct.
