Larrabees From All Over

I would like information on any Larrabee's(regardless of spelling) from central New York. I started research on the Larrabee line about 30 years ago and have created family group sheets which now include over 5000 Larrabee's. Initially, my primary source of information was from various town Vital Record books that I found in the MIT Library in Cambridge, Mass. Also, from the Ridlon's book "Saco Valley Families", pages 778 to 873. I used to do a lot of traveling around when I was in the military and every where I went I copied the names, addresses and telephone numbers of Larrabee's and when I returned home I would send them a letter asking for their family genealogy. It was quite suprising the responses I received. I quit working on the genealogies a few years ago and ended up discarding most of the documentation I had accumulated but retained the family group sheets. A few weeks ago I got a call from a man I had talked with 10 or 12 years ago. He was asking for information on his line. As a result, I have started to enter the data into my computer genealogy program. I've three different files, the Maine & Massachusetts(Stephen) line, the Connecticut(Greenfield) line and my own line in central New York. I can only go back to my great-great grandfather Elijah and wife Polly from (North)Volney,Oswego County, New York. I would like to get info especially on those of Oneida, Oswego, Onondaga & Herkimer Counties. Thanks Ed
