Dear Betty Thomas, Thank you for your recent email. I would like to list my query to the post. I have never listed a query this way, so I hope this is OK. Thank you for taking the query. (Not sure how to sign the query...) The information that I wish to post is as follows: Ancestor Aaron RAND (no spelled various ways)b. ca 1790 in Mass., mar in New York state to Betsy CRONKITE, who died -possibly in Jefferson Co., NY. He mar. 2nd to Permelia AINSWORTH, either in LeRay or LeRoy..ca 1822. They had children. I wish to verify the children's birthdates and birth places. Does anyone know where birth records are stored and how do I acquire the information? J.W. at gramw@milwpc.com
