>Has anyone heard of a town in NY called Cohvis? It is in an entry dated >1980. Thanks, Linda Linda, I'm not aware of any town colled Cohvis nor can I find one in any atlas or gazetteer. Perhaps the town is simply a misreading of a handwritten Cohoes. Cohoes is a village in the Town of Colonie in Albany County and lies on the south bank of the Mohawk River where it empties into the Hudson. Is that location consistent with the other information you have? Best regards, Kelvin Kean Elverson, Pennsylvania
