Please help me find my ancestors.?

My ancestor is Lyman Chandler born in East Aurora, NY (Erie County) in 1907. I have no idea if I have more relatives in US or where my family comes from? Thanks!

There are several genealogy sites on the internet where you can do free searching. Rootsweb.com; genealogy.com; family history.org Genweb are a few. Go to your library. Sometimes they have a section for genealogy. You can search census records for NY starting about 1910 to look for you ancestor. There are really a lot of resources out there. If you plan on doing a lot of this, then I'd suggest you get yourself a genealogy program and starting with yourself, work backwards. Also talk with your parents/grandparent/aunt/uncles and even cousins about what they know. Good luck,

I found them mis-spelled in the 1920 census in Aurora, Erie, NY.



(Name, age, birthplace)



Lyman Shandler, 51, head, NY



Florence Shandler 40, wife, Penn



Lyman Shandler, 12, NY



They are the same, just 10 years older, in 1930, living in Niagara Falls, Niagara, New York. They got recorded as "Chandler" in 1930.
In 1920, the family lives in Erie co.. Father is Lyman Sr and mom is Florence. Dad is 50, mom is 40, and no other children show up in the home at the time. So far, I am not locating them in 1910, but the 1920 is indexed as Shandler.
