I have since traced my ancestors to William Brewster of the Mayflower and have linked over 800 individuals which is posted online in this site.  My database in continually improving while I try to confirm the knowledge I currently have with legitimate sources. 

This page serves as a link to my family tree and other local history. Most of my ancestors were from New England and New York; Canaan, Columbia, NY being where I grew up.  The BITHER name for my family seemed to have originated from the name BITZER of Germany.  The following surnames are some of my direct lines that I am currently researching.  Let me know of any links or questions.
