Hi, Jackie - <<Could someone please tell me what county North Salem, NY is in.>> There is a Salem and a North Salem up in Washington County, NY. It is a small and old village which is also the county seat for Washington County. There are a number of historical accounts and Salem records that are available online for searching at the Washington County GenExchange. Here's the URL: http://www.genexchange.org/county.cfm?state=ny&county=washington <<Also does anyone have or have access to a city directory of North Salem? >> I have the 1871 Washington County business directory that I'm transcribing and entering into the City/County Directories database at the Washington County GenExchange. So far, all the records for every town in the county halfway through Hebron have been submitted and are online. Salem is still on the "to do" list. Good luck with your research!
