I want to find a death certificate for a gr,gr, grandfather (1815-1894) who lived his whole life in Columbia County, mostly Niverville, Kinderhook and for a while Chatham. I think Niverville was the last address. I have been in contact with the town clerks of Niverville and Kinderhook who do not have a record of his death. So my question is - what are the chances that I would find a record of death at the state level?
