There is a great library in Westfield, NY, down from Mayville that has a lot of information. Also, Prendergast Library in Jamestown, NY, may have something you're looking for. Your best bet would be to start at the courthouse. Good luck. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
