I am searching for information regarding Samuel Givens, his parents, spouse, siblings and parents. This is all that I have at the present time. I do not have the ability to travel to Kingston, NY to search for the records of the estate. Is there anyone on the list who has any information, or who lives in or near Kingston that would be willing to search records for me? I would gladly pay for your time.
