    1. Re:Smith genaelogy
    2. Sorry for the delay in answering the question. Marla Kaste wrote asking how to access a book about the genealogy of the Smith family by George Budke. All of the genealogical and historical papers collected and compiled by George H. Budke are stored at the New York City Public Library, in the Manuscript and Archives Division. They are commonly referred to as the 'Budke Collection.' So, the entire Budke Collection can be found there. Many of the libraries in Rockland County have copies of a number of Budke's works. The New City Public Library has most of the Budke Collection, either in book form or on microfilm. I was at the New City Public Library in 1997 and they had the book at that time. It is called "Genealogy of the Smidt, or Smith, Family," by George H. Budke 1912. It was listed on their computer catalog, but I do not remember if it was in microfilm or book form. You should be able to find most of the Budke Collection at the New City Library in The Rockland Room. Charlie Keasler
