Dear Vermonter's (or any who have done genealogy visits there), I will be visiting your beautiful state this following weekend (April 20-23). I'm researching the ghosts who birthed my Eugene Chilson in West Enosburg then brought him of age prior to the Civil War in Rutland County (Castleton,Hydeville towns). My long distance searches have revealed nothing, not even a wisp so I'm hoping if I walk his steps, I may stumble across a grave or record or two. (1) Is their a state repository of records for 1840-1860? If so where? I have the Chilson film from Vital Records so that's out. (2) Does Franklin county or Rutland county have a central genealogical orginization that may be open that weekend? (3) Does anyone in those specific areas have places to visit for newspapers, wills, deeds etc. I'm guessing that might be my only hope (except for the graves, of course). Thanks for any help. Some others on the sites may appreciate seeing the responses for future visits, but I will obviously take private emails also. P.S> I'm staying in St. Albans unless someone nows about a hotel in Enosburg :) Colin
