About this Site

I dedicate this site to my ancestors, to whom I (obviously) owe everything. The focus is on my four grandparents’ lines: Armstrong, Phillips, Chapman and Button, and the area in which they lived, Central New York. This is my attempt to both honor them and carry on their memory for future generations.
