Hamm - Gloversville

[Martyn Lucas]

Hi,
Can anyone try and lookup the Hamm family in Gloversville, NY.
They Emigranted from Somerset/Dorset in the 1860s I think.
Thank you.

I don't see anyone in the 1870 census by that name in that county.  Do you have surnames for this family and also approximate dates of birth?----Genealiza

Gloversville NY is located in Fulton County.  Here is a link for the library- http://www.gloversvillelibrary.org/hist.html

Here is a history of the area.  http://www.mvls.info/lhg/glover/index.html

This is just for neat area pictures-

Please let me know if you have any questons about the area as I live about an hour west of Gloversville, NY

In my previous post, it should have read, "Do you have any 'Given' names and approximate birthdates for the Hamm family?"-----Genealiza

Some names I have are Harry K Hamm, his son was Gordon.  Harry's brother were Wilfred, Hubert and Ernest.

There was also a Alice Hamm. Alice had a daughter who was married to Henry Vanderbeek and they lived at 25 Almond Street, Sea Cliff, Long Island in 1874 (the Vanderbeek's that is).

Also Arthur Kendal Hamm.  who lived at 83 Saratoga Boulevard.  Think he died in 1932. Possibily born 19th Feb 1866.

I think the Hamms first moved to USA around 1864-66.

Thanks for the replies to far.
