If you go to Sampubco,com and click on wills, then on New York, then on Otsego County you can see an alphabetical list of wills. I don't believe he has the letters of administration available for that county, however. But at least you can see who had a will that went to Probate, and the volume and page number (then you get to translate that info into the familysearch venue). with names you can also try the www.fultonhistory.com site - if you don't already know about it, it is a free searchable historical newspaper site. It can be tricky to navigate, for instance - don't just search on a name like Burrell L. Story - also search Burrell Story and B. L. Story. Try different spellings, etc. Try "exact search" and "all words" etc. In this case look closely at newspapers from Cooperstown, Richfield Springs, etc. You can change how results are displayed below the search entry. Change from "hits" to "name" as this refers to the name of the newspaper, not the name you are searching on. The site is addictive. Newspapers as early as 1800 - 1980's are included. You may find something. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
