Found while cleaning up an old mailbox. - Tim Hi Jane, Don't forget the County Court House for deeds. I spent two days there last year and searched out my McGrath/McGraw relative's land transactions. The records cover the period from 1808 to the present. I was able to fill in several pieces of family history and straighten out some family legends just based on the information that I was able to find there. Now in the earlier days not every transaction was recorded so you might not be able to reconstruct an entire history. The great thing about the deed records was that they let you search thru them on your own. Then you place the books with the pages you want copied in a pile by the Xerox machine and they will copy them for you. I think the copies were 50 cents each and they only took cash. There was a person on hand who was very knowledgeable concerning the ins and outs of deeds and the procedures related to land transactions. Here is an extra trick that I figured out. After you find a deed that relates to one of your ancestors the next question will be: "Where is it located?". The city locations have addresses but the rural locations are more difficult. Back in 1876 there were some maps drawn up for all the townships in Cortland County. A copy of those maps has been laminated and is available in the deed room. You will want to have them make copies of the relevant townships for you. They are too big for the copy machine so they will have to make the copies in three overlapping sections. Later you can cut and paste them into one whole map again and then run them down to Kinko's to make large copies and the seams practically disappear. Why are these maps important? Listed on these maps are the names of the individual land owners and the size, in acres, of the parcels of land that they owned in 1876. After the original subdivision of the lots, that were awarded to the Revolutionary War veterans, the land continued to changed hands according to these subdivisions. Many of the subdivisions were in odd amounts which makes it easy to track them. I was tracking one that was 1.5 acres and that made it easy to trace. The original lot numbers are still used today but the land is described in terms of its boundaries and its size. The size number is like a flag and is just as useful for identification purposes as if they had numbered the various subdivsions. In each lot there might be 5-7 individuals and the almost unique size numbers allow for the identification of where the various parcels are located even after they change hands. Using this technique I was able to pinpoint the location of almost all the deeds I was able to find.

Hello Listers - I have just finished transcribing the 1860 Shelby Co., MO census, and putting it in an easily searchable format - I would love to do lookups for any that desire one - Dot Dotsipe@aol.com

My apologies for sending again so soon but I did wish to let you know the following: Since this morning's update: Madison County 1868-69 county directory: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/1868dir.htm Town of Georgetown - new this afternoon - some listings bleed over into Chenango County. and a request to forward this along as well: I'm just dropping a note to let you know that as I am celebrating 20 years of using the computer as a research tool my computer has gone kablooie (no thanks to Bill Gates). I'll be out of commission until I can figure out what to do. Luckily I backed up all the important things just the other day and hopefully I can recover everything else, but it could be some time before I'm able to do anything for my fellow researchers. My web pages at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/ are still running fine, but, besides being unable to access the net and e-mail I also have no access to all the data files, research papers and notes on my computer (20 years of work). I do have hard copies of all my work, so instead of half an hour of research on the computer I could spend all day rifling through papers, which I just can't do at the moment. Dan W. Daniel H.

Hello Everyone, I need all the help I can get, I am really stuck. This is from Minard's book of history Henry Clark is the son of Lyman Clark, son of David Clark, who's father came from Ireland and settled in Connecticut where David was born. He came to Tully, Corland Co. N.Y. where Lyman was born in 1804, about which time David brought his family to Warsaw and was an early settler of Wyoming Co. Lyman married a Miss Spoor, children were; Henry, born, May 30, 1835, Anna, Isaac W. born 1839, Cornelius, Catherine, George, Maria and Virginia. Mr Clark died in 1880. Henry has always been a farmer. He married in 1857, Candace, daughter of Stephen Rice. What I need is Lyman's wifes name and his mothers name, or David's fathers name. The counties change so much, I don't know where to look. The LDS files have sealed the records of this family per request of person unknown. I have no idea what church it could have been. I have called county historians, who for some reason refuse to look for me, said I could do it myself, but I am in Michigan unable to go to N.Y. Any help here would be great! The children of Lyman were born in Hume according to what the LDS would put out, except Catherine and George I believe were born in PA. thank you so much, Cathy Obeshaw wind0spirt@aol.com the 0 is a zero

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Theo GRANT taken at the Pruden & Jones Studio at 52 North Main Street in Cortland, New York. The photo was probably taken in the 1870's or 1880's and Theo appears to be in his 20's at the time the photograph was taken. I'm hoping to locate Theo's family so that the photograph can be returned to its rightful place. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi, I am trying to learn something more about the family of my gr.gr. grandparents, Lysander Barber RICE and Abigail MOORE Rice, who allegedly was born ca.1813 in Tompkins Co., NY. Lysander RICE, born 11 April 1808, at Shrewsbuy, MA., and Abigail were married prior to 1839. They lived near Richford, Tioga Co., NY, where they raised a family of two sons and four daughters: Palmer Z., Alonzo (my gr. grandfather), Julia (who died before reaching adulthood), Melissa, Zella and Malintha ("May"). At some point in time, I think during the 1860s, the family lived in Cortland Co. Eventually, the entire family, except for Lysander (who died sometime after 1860) migrated to Nebraska and settled in Fillmore Co. (I don't know when or where Lysander died, but it may have been in Cortland Co.) The Rice daughters married, apparently, before the exodus to Nebraska. One son-in-law was a John Tanner, I believe, and the surnames of the others could have been Edwards and Owens or Evans. Does any of this information ring a bell for anyone? Naomi H.
