Claflin Linkages to the Munson Family and the Keller Family« Back to Previous Page

Hello, my name is William and I'm seeking to research the origins of my wife's ancestors. Specifically, dating back to Myra Keller (1868-1947) who we believe was born in Ontario, Canada and then moved to Watertown, NY at some point with her parents where she married Oren Munson in Watertown on 10 July, 1886. She then gave birth to a daughter who is referred to as a few different names: Mary Etta Munson, May Munson who was born in Rodman, NY in 1888. She later married a William Morgan Claflin in 1903 and gave birth to James Edward Claflin in 1905. Finding as much information as possible on Myra Keller and her daughter Mary "May" Munson is my objective. Any help would be appreciated! I do plan to request NYS record copies from City/Town Clerks for birth certificates and marriage certificates as I have the names, dates and some index #s detailed below.
