Pat, from reading your e-mails printed on the [email protected] today, I get the idea you might be willing to do look-ups when time permits. I have been trying to find the burial place of my gr-gr-grandmother, probably in Chemung County. Her name was Achsah Delora (Buzzell) Ramsdell, wife of John A. Ramsdell. My source is a small genealogical record written by John A. Ramsdell's sister in 1891. Her words, "Achsah died in Sullivanville, Chemung County, N.Y. March 25 1852." I have been unable to find any record of her death or burial anywhere other than this. John A. and Achsah Delora Ramsdell's daughter was born March 17, 1852 in Sullivanville, N.Y., and I have also been unable to find any record of her birth anywhere. I have never been in New York or adjoining states, so have no idea of where these places are situated; how close they are to other townships; which cemeteries have been enumerated, and which have not, etc. If there is some way you could check out the burial permits, it might give some pertinent information. I have been stymied by this brick wall forever, and would be so grateful for any help anyone can offer. I have been checking Joyce's site for three years now, and have found nothing to help in this search for my gr-gr-grandmother's grave, only the information that John A. Ramsdell was Postmaster in Chemung County at some time in the 1850's. Thank you, Myrtle (Ramsdell) Townsend Lewisville, Texas [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 9:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tri-Counties] Burial Permits - Chemung County Bill, do you have an approximate date of death for Oliver Darwin Stiles, M.D? If you do, it would make it easier to check the obits. Even a year would help. A lot of the obits have been copied from the newspapers and put into binders by the volunteer genealogists at our Chemung Co. Library. This has been a big help to all of us in our searching.
