Hi Kim, I don't know what others do but I've hit brick walls with my research so for the past few years, I've been collecting differenet data from Oneonta (& a little from Chen. Co.). I've read the three cemeteries in Oneonta as well as Colliersville Cem in Cooperstown Junction (which is on the Otsego Co web site) and Greenlawn in Bainbridge. I know how hard it is if you can't do "hands-on" research so I'm willing to look in all my collected data to see if I can help someone. It really makes my day to know that I've been able to help someone because I know how much it means to someone to find a puzzle piece. Good luck with your seaching & Merry Christmas!
