    3. Recently while working with the Flatland and Flatbush Town records, I found the following documents and have placed them on line at the URL below. The first one from Flatlands, I have no idea why it was created, what its original purpose might have been. It lists the birth dates of male inhabitants of Flatlands who were between the ages of 35-45. I have estimated that it was probably created in about 1803. If you might have an idea what that purpose was, I would love to hear it. If you find something usable in this document, be sure to give some of your thanks to Mike Morrissey as he helped me with some of the writing with which I had difficulty. Also on the page is a series of pages taken from the Flatbush Town Records which were accountings from the records of the Flatbush DRC for about 1661-1664. They listed some burials and payments paid or still due for burials and for some marriages. It doesn't give the name of the bride or groom and the payer may not always be the groom (might be the bride's father, for example) but it might help to narrow down when a marriage took place in a family. The page is plain vanilla at the moment but it is the content that matters, right? http://notmyfamily.pbworks.com/w/page/40982114/FrontPage Renee L. Dauven
