Here is the information. For more information regarding DCHS or Dutchess County history, please contact: DUTCHESS COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY c/o Steven Mann, President P.O. BOX 88 POUGHKEEPSIE, NY 12602 TEL. 845-471-1630 FAX 845-471-8777 Email: dchistorical@verizon.net I strongly suggest writing a Snail Mail letter or to FAX a letter to the Society rather than using Email. I have had more sucess in receiving a reply by using one of thes methods. I also find that since the work is being done by Volunteers on their own time that "Patience is a Virtue" in receiving good genealogical information. If I don't receive a reply within 3 months than I send a 2nd reply. Good Luck and I hope you find the information you are seeking.
