Linda, Since you didn't indicate the years that your NETTLETON family lived and died in Onondaga Co., the following information may not apply. 1) If the Christ Church is still active, there will be burial records which may reveal other information about your family. Churches appreciate a donation in return for providing information. Cemetery records for non- church-affiliated cemeteries are usually kept in the town clerk's office. A polite letter of request, giving as much pertinent data as was known, including a self-addressed,stamped envelope (SASE), brought me pages of burial records with lots of data from the town clerk of Camillus. There was no charge. I have the addresses of most of the town clerks in Onondaga County (actually, just about any town clerk anywhere in the U.S., now that I think of it). 2) Depending upon the years you are researching, purchase of a death certificate from the county of Onondaga can reveal other information about your family member such as names of parents, birthplace, birthdate, etc. ($10.00 for the search -- but give at least the year of the event -- and $1.00 for a copy); The date and place of death information on the death certificate is considered to be primary documentation. Other data, such as parents' names, date of birth, etc., is considered to be secondary evidence because it is given by an informant or family member who may have been not very well- informed. 3) Depending upon the years you are researching, NY had a state census that revealed a great deal of detail in 1855, 1865 and 1875 -- your local family history center can get the microfilms for you. These state censuses have no indexes that I am aware of, so it is necessary that you know at least the town where your relatives lived -- then you do a line-by-line search of that town. 4) The Federal Censuses, beginning with 1850, have much individual information about those who were enumerated. The Federal Census is available for research only up to 1920 because of privacy laws. There is a Soundex (type of index) available for 1920. There is no Soundex for 1910, so line-by- line searches of the towns are usually necessary. In the case of Syracuse, I was lucky enough to obtain a listing of the enumeration district lines which I then drew on a Polk map and had enlarged. At least one Onondaga Co. researcher has been able to find her family using that map -- but I haven't had an opportunity to use it yet, myself! 5) In the case of Syracuse, there are directories which list the inhabitants both alphabetically and in street order. Sometimes the city directory reveals important information, such as: "John Hanifan died January 24," or, "Abby Pearl Dodge married Robert McMullen and removed to (city)." If you know the address where your family lived at the time of an unindexed census, it helps narrow down the number of lines searched in line-by-line searches. 6) The people in the Local History and Genealogy department at the Onondaga Public Library are simply super. I spent a week there last May and later wrote a letter to say that, of all the libraries where I have done research, their service, helpfulness and resources were the best! I hope some of this helps.
