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.<\/p>\n
My name is Johnna and I’ve been researching my family history since 1998 or so. I’m the proud co-owner of a few ornery DEAs (D___d Elusive Ancestors) who refuse to give up their secrets, as well as plenty of memorable characters, from Shakers to convicted bigamists. I hope to tell their stories and show off some of their charming quirks, because history is so much more interesting when you can know a little something about the people it happened to.<\/p>\n
If you are also a co-owner of some of these people and want to share info, please contact me at genealogy @ oldwillow.com (without the spaces).<\/p>\n
