Newspaper microfilms in the collection of the New York State Library MAY be ordered for you by your local library. We would caution, however, that we believe the state library does not have the Oneonta Star on microfilm after 1974, yet. The ordering information may be found on the NYState Library website. If I were this person, I would contact the Librarian at the Daily Star directly and ask for a copy. They try to be very helpful. There may be a minimum charge. http://www.thedailystar.com/ Wishing you success, Leigh Leigh C.

I was looking at the emails I had saved from my Butman research, and maybe I misunderstood something. Is there an obit for Ben Butman who m. Anna Loop in your book with l0,000 vital..... I am looking for any Butmans you have in Otsego. like John Turner Butman, Joseph, Mary, Deborah, Anna, William Fletcher, Alexander, or others. They are all my family. Please see what you have and tell me. Would love some obits!! Do you think that the Benj. Butman marriage record with Anna Loop in l8l8 still exists today? Would it list his parents names? If you are from Otsego, do you know a Marlene Wells? She helped me a year or so ago on butmans, and I have lost her email and regular address. Do you have access to it? If so, please email me directly at cbeck@ll.net. Also looking for N. Brunk who once wrote me. If she is on this list now, please write me. connie beck, cbeck@ll.net Lenox, IOWA
