front side & back side of a river - what does that mean??? I know what a river is of course. I know that the 'far side' and 'near side' of a river depends on where you are standing, etc. Kay C. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sylvia To: nydelawa@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, December 23, 2006 12:35 PM Subject: Re: [NYDELAWA] South Kortright South Kortright is about midway between Hobart and Bloomville . Most of it is on the back side of the river and that section is part of the Town of Stamford. All records would be in the Town of Stamford Town Clerk's office in Hobart, BUT, they won't have any for the early to mid 1800's. Their records start with around 1885 or 1886 I believe. The front side of the river is a part of the Town of Kortright and their records are in the Town Clerk's office in Bloomville. You might find records in the church's. So. Kortright has a Presbyterian Church and I believe some of their records are on the Delaware Co site. The other church is the Catholic Church and the priest would know if there were any back that far. I am not sure if there is a historian for South Kortright or not. Dick Nesbitt should be able to tell you and he's on this list.

Kay, Sorry for confusing you. I honestly can't explain why, but when I was growing up people always referred to Rte 10 as the "front side" of the river maybe because it was the "main" road. The road on the other side of the river, which is County Rte 18, they always referred to as the back side of the river.
