I have typed in the first Volume of the West Coxsackie records and have made a first attempt at a "drop chart" on-line. Both are pretty rough - not anything like the great stuff at the Tryon Union. The addresses are: http://www.ipa.net/~vtitus/westcox.html http://www.ipa.net/~vtitus/gctryon.html I will be reworking these pages, adding more info as I go along.
