> With regard to your Barber's in Franklin County, NY and Canada, My Barber
ancestors came from Canada and Franklin County, New York. I am referring to
the Jeremiah Barnes Barber family. I am searching for a Peter LaBombard who
supposedly fought in the French Revolution before immigrating to either
Canada of New York State. I would be interested in your paternal great
grandparent in 1600 France. If I can be of help I'd be happy to do so.
