Hello Again Carol Further searching shows that the LDS does have the Land Records for Oneida County on Microfilm and they can be obtained for searching at your closest Family History Center. I note that it also includes the Early Herkimer County Deeds from 1791 and of course if their Date of arrival or purchase was prior to that Date, they would fall under Montgomery County Deeds which are also on Microfilm by the LDS starting at 1772. So that might be a good approach to take. Deeds, 1791-1901 (Oneida County, New York) Authors Oneida County (New York). County Clerk (Main Author) Notes Microfllm of original records in the Oneida County Courthouse, Utica, New York. Includes index. Also includes early deeds of Herkimer County for 1791-1798. Hope this helps you, Pat R
