My Great Grandmother was born in Nyack, NY August 10, 1847 and died October 6, 1924 in Nyack. She was the daughter of Thomas Tasman born May 15, 1808, died July 27, 1887 and Jane Myers born March 27, 1816, died January 10, 1871. She was a direct descendant of Abel Tasman who discovered New Zealand and Tasmania. Does anyone have information that would be useful in tracking the history back any further?
