Here's the address for the Town Clerk in Montgomery. Birth, marriage and death records do not start in any New York town before 1880. Town of Montgomery Marie Marano, Town Clerk 110 Bracken Road Montgomery, NY 12549 914/457/2660 You might also consider contacting the villages of Maybrook, Montgomery and Walden, all located in the town (again, no vital records before 1880 -- and possibly later, some of these villages may be less than 100 years old): Village of Maybrook Tina Johnson, Village Clerk 109 Main Street Maybrook, NY 12543 914/427/2717 Village of Montgomery Linda Thompson Village Clerk 133 Clinton Street Montgomery, NY 12549 914/457/9661 Village of Walden Nancy Mitchell, Village Clerk 8 Scofield Street Walden, NY 12586 914/778/2177 Please keep in mind with all of these governments that the quantity and quality of their records will vary considerably. They may not be in a position to do much actual research into their non-vital records (the vital records usually have some form of index and are in better shape). Good luck Ray LaFever Manor Farm Cottage 22 Old Route 9 Staatsburg, NY 12580 USA ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
