According to Gertrude Starkey Clapsattle, who indexed the probate records of Niagara County (through 1880) in 1979 (Gert's a dear old local DAR girl!), "The researcher should be reminded that, although Niagara was the parent county to Erie, the county seat was in Buffalo. An old record book of early Niagara and Erie County probate and other surrogate records, dating from 1809, may be found in the Erie County Surrogate Library." Note: I don't have their address at hand. I hope this helps some of you in your Niagara County research.. vee
