Correct there is a book at the Wyoming County clerks office for marriages HOWEVER it begins circa 1905. The churches, mentioned by Joan, is your best bet that early. I would check the connections at the Wyoming page to see if they list the churches. They do have a page for the historians, so you may be able to direct your church question to the Gainesville historian. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywyomin/ -- Cindy Amrhein Town of Alabama Historian in Genesee Co., NY Experience the Town of Alabama in Genesee County, NY. http://www2.pcom.net/cinjod/historian/ APHNYS (Association of Public Historians of New York State) http://www.tier.net/aphnys __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
