New member introducing myself

I've come into possession of massive amounts of genealogical research work product produced by my Great, Great, Grandmother (Maygwin Hamblen Eaton (1867-1950)). Included are letters and biographies describing events of the early 1800s, such migrating westward from Connecticut and homesteading in New York's Genesee Valley around 1809. The tree she made goes back to Abraham Pierson (1646-1707), founder of the Collegiate School (later called Yale University). Is anyone interested in this research material?

Welcome Bill!

I was checking out the link that Peggy referred to and while he isn't related to me, I started checking out the children and grandchildren, an they were coming up 10th cousins to me! Pretty awesome!  Thanks for sharing!  And thank you, Peggy for finding that link!
