New York Ancestry Pat James has long been known for her publications of pedigrees from various areas of New York state. Last year she changed the name of her site to New York Ancestry, and changed the focus to supplying on-line indexes to various publications, with links to libraries to see the materials indexed, or to sources to buy it.
