This Research page contains material which may not be included in my manuscript The Falkenburgs
An American Colonial Family: Chapter 2 Colonial Roots. In There are two reasons this material does not appear in the manuscript. First, in an effort to manage the size of the book or the flow of the story, I decided that some details should be relegated to research notes. In other cases, I simply don't know all of the facts needed to make a coherent presentation. Those notes are found here. In many cases they are notes to myself and may not represent fully explored and documented fact. If you have navigated to this page from a Google search, and you have not seen my manuscript, you may wish to follow the link below for a more complete story of the colonial roots of the Falkenburg/Falkinburg family.

(2.1) The New York Home of Samuel Falkinburg
In Chapter 3 (p. 65) of The Falkenburg: a Colonial American Family I tell the story of Samuel Falkinburg's move to the Finger Lakes region of Western New York State. Recently, I received a note from the owner of the home built by Samuel in Varick, NY. The picture below is a view of Samuel's home. Most likely the home which Samuel built for his family is the two-story structure. The addition in the back was likely added as one of several restorations/rennovations.
