Box 297, Putnam Valley, NY, 10579-0297. They have a wealth of information. I grew up in Putnam Valley, remember Cimarron Ranch and there still are many Travis families in the area. I was back there often last year. Another wonderful source for NY researchers is the Fulton Web Site which has now over 13 million old newspapers. http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html [free, donations accepted] Jean Chapman Snow Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
