THe Adams Town hall clerks are great and they sent me to No Adams. Unfortuntley, they were not helpful. Would not let me look at cards or logs or anything. Would only look up a name for which I had exact info on and nothing more. Acted really put out. You know how it is, it is not always an exact science, I am sure there are bungled spellings etc. That was a year ago, Maybe its time to try again. The Death Log at Adams Town Hall had a column to the right and an R or an S was recorded for most people. Noone knew what that "code" referred to. I got to wondering recently if it might be an undertaker.
