You will have to find a church record, which requires that you know the family religion. Also, note, that there are actually three Tonawandas in New York, all nearby. Thesouthernmost is the Town of Tonawanda, which is just north of and borders the city of Buffalo. Next to the north is the City of Tonawanda, surrounded on the west, south and east by the Town. Its northern boundary is the Erie Canal, which is also the county line. In Niagara County across the canal is the city of North Tonawanda. So you really have to look for churches in three different communities! George
George, That certainly will keep me busy. I do know the family religion. Thanks, Doug George Richmond <grichmon@localnet.com> wrote: >Looking for the birth records of: >William A.
