Still looking for the above person. Possibly a descendant of Daniel Hutchinson and Persis Boggess. In the 1880 census his parents are identified as coming from CT. Had a sister named Chloe who may have been married to a Wilder and a Thomas at some point. He also may have had a brother named John and one named James. Where would I look for a birth record assuming the date and place of birth are correct? Can anyone help? Knut Barde
If George Hutchinson was alive in the 1880 census and lived in New York, then his death record just may be in the NYS Dept of Health vital records. That kind of record typically names his parents and tells the state of birth.

I agree with Muskrat Bay on 2 points: 1.) NY death records prior to 1900 are spotty: I have some [four] relatives who d. in Champlain Co. in the 1890's--a decade after records were supposed to begin--and none of them were registered with the NY Dept. of Vital Records. 2.) Many of the older NY death records I have received do NOT list the parents, even though that was a question that was supposed to be asked. I have had very good luck doing research at the Onondaga Historical Assoc. in Syracuse--they have lots of cemetery records, as well as family files, and newspaper abstracts. If you can't go there yourself, see if they will do a search for a fee or if you can hire someone to go there for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Knut W.
