Okay folks, I need someone's expertise in searching NY records. I requested the death certificate for Horace at the Town Clerk's office in Waverly. Today I receive a nice letter stating they checked Barton & Waverly death records and said they could not find a record of his death! The man died 22 October 1890 in Barton and was confident I would get a death certificate-wrong! They included a form to be mailed to Albany-any guarantees I will get a record of his death if I go that route???? My information states he was buried in the Oak Hill Church Cemetery. Has anyone ever written to them for info?? Any success? I also struck out with his first wife Almira. She is buried in the Maine Town Cemetery in Broome. They tell me they don't have a record of her death either-she died much earlier-1868. How does one get info on people in NY??? I realize it is possible they both died somewhere else, can anyone pull a rabbit out of a hat? These people are a major link to my direct line and it seems they are as elusive as their kin. Any thoughts, idea, greatly appreciated. Janice disappointed in Connecticut
