The easiest way to find out if the records exist is to go on LDS's www.familysearch.org and go to the Family History Library on-line catalog. I checked it and Saratoga Monthly Meeting records have been filmed and are available at any Family History Center. You can get the film numbers to order on-line (but you can't print out or save the citation as they have the database set as read only,) and then send for the films to be used at the FHC.
