I have had some of the same difficulties as you but recently joined this organization. They look like they are pretty active plus they publish old records. They will do research for a small fee. I haven't sent them a request yet so don't have any experience that way. They are Dutchess County Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 708, Poughkeepsie, NY 12602-0708. http://www.dcgs-gen.org Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
