Dear Barbara, Thanks very much for the info. I think I will contact the Church. The problem is I have received conflicting info about who has the record. About a year ago, I called the Rotterdam Library and they said that many of the Rotterdam records were kept in Schenectady. I have also check the Schenectady County Clerk website and it basically says they don't do genealogy. If the Church can't help me, then I will call the Rotterdam Town Clerk next.
