Throughout Jefferson County our more than 850 farms sell as much as $139 million worth of agricultural products each year...We are the state's fourth-ranked dairy county and the 47th ranked dairy producing county nationwide. However, we also have many fine farms that grow and sell fruits, vegetables, and grains to feed families here and across the state. (Sen. Darrel J. Aubertine)

Remember, your Jefferson County ancestors were most probably farmers!

This page is part of the USGenWeb Project. Modeled after the Kentucky GenWeb Project which was organized by a group of genealogists in March and April 1996, the idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky, where collected databases would be stored. In June 1996, it was decided to expand the project to include all states.

If the state in which you are interested does not have a page and you wish to be responsible for it, please contact Tina Vickery, USGenWeb Coordinator.

If you would like to contribute your data or create a county page within New York State, please contact Bob Sullivan.
