Hello all, I came across your web site looking up information about Green County. My family has a summer home in New Baltimore for the last 45 or so years. I was interested in finding information about the people we bought the house from. I also wanted to locate the original floor plans of the house (I know the house had a fire at one time) and anything I could find out about the town and how it was in the past. I was hoping you could direct me on how to start and where to look. Thanks for any information you can give. _DPM33@aol.com_ (mailto:DPM33@aol.com)

Welcome to the Tracing your Roots in Greene Co site! The history of New Baltimore is available on the site in a number of places. Start with the subheading Greene Co on the Table of Contents page and explore the sub-sub headings that come up after that. In terms of the ownership of your house in New Baltimore, you would need to visit the County Building on Main St, Catskill, and look up the deed for your house, which will be listed by the name of your parents as the grantee. On that deed you will find the name of the grantor - the person(s) who sold the house to your parents. There will likely be the reference of the previous deed of sale for the house alos on that deed, and then you can look that up and see who sold the house to the folks that sold it to your parents. This process works well until the late 1800's when the practice of recording the previous sale was not followed as a general rule. Then the search is by grantor/grantee name only and can be a little more confusing. If you would prefer, I can do this search for you, for a modest fee. Contact me off list at esi@francomm.com if you are interested. In terms of locating floor plans of the house itself - that would be neigh on impossible I would assume. There was no legislative requirement to file those with the county or state, so only a previous owner MAY have them.
