Where are these records located?
Following the money?
My great grandfather was an adirondack guide, based in Franklin County, between 1880 and 1921, guiding hunters to California, Canada, and elsewhere. I have some magazine and newspaper articles, but wondering if there are other sources I should consider. I have censuses, and some into about basic vital stats.

1789 birth
Very interesting presentation. I just inherited a family bible and want to know if NYGB would like a copy of the family information inside. Also, I can find marriage and death of ancestor so I have her maiden name but cannot find anything about birth, approx. 1789, or parents. Census says she was born in New York. Any strategy to figure out what county? Is it possible that the NY is incorrect?
