Hello,
Welcome to the Steuben County portion of the NYGenWeb.
Steuben County has been totally rejuvenated.
My name is Martha and I am your new County Coordinator
I do not live in New York - I am on the Central Coast of California
But, that said, I am an excellant online researcher and might be able to point
you in the direction of 'out of the box' resources.
I can be reached via email: Martha
With Thanks to the long-time former Coordinator and her Volunteers:
Judy Allen Johanson Cwiklinski: 1998-2016
