I am originally from Spencerport, NY and I am quite familiar with your wonderful town. You have such a great historian, and Mary E. Smith has always been helpful to me when I do genealogy. My ancestors were German immigrants who came to Hamlin in approximately 1860s. My Grandfather, Frank C. Bateman (Franz Christian Bethmann) when to school at the Lutheran Church and is pictured as a young boy in one of the church photos. Other ancestors lived in Brockport and Clarkson, and I am always happy to come back to obtain some of those great New York State apples.
