Surnames: Witherhead Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/8428.1 Message Board Post: Naturalization papers are indexed at the county courthouse. Note that naturalization is voluntary so there may or may not be a record there but they are indexed which makes for a quick search. If a trip to the Canton, NY courthouse is not convenient and hiring a researcher is a possibilty you could contact the St. Lawrence count historical association for a recommendation. Wills and probate records are also indexed and sometimes help identify family relationships. Hope this helps - Russ Sprague Kensington, Maryland

Google for 'ny state newspaper project'. This will display a link to info on old newspapers available on microfilm that you can borrow via interlibrary loan. You initiate the request from your local library (they will need a microfilm reader). It's rare to find much prior to about 1870.

Thank you. rl ps I realze that Hogansburg is Franklin county but I think it was Clinton county during that time period. Also where would I find any articles on a newspaper called the Observer in the early 1900s?

The Observer would be the Massena Observer. I believe the Library in Massena might have the newspapers, but I don't know how far back they go. Hogansburg is not to far from Massena.
