What Needs to Be Done

While headway on tracing the family tree has started, there is much that needs to be done. My personal feelings on doing genealogy work is that the more family members involved the better. I do have a "wish" list of things that I would like to see researched, this is not inclusive. If you have the time and desire to help with this project, click onto any of the links below to see how you can help.

Your Local L.D.S. Family Center
Allegany Co., NY County Court House









Allegany Co. County Court House
Belmont, NY

What needs to be researched: Copy made of Daniel Moland's Will.
Where to find it: At the Surrogate Court in the court house. They have public file of all the estates. The wills and other information is contained in those files.
What you will need to know: Daniel Moland's will can be found in county 2, vol. 14, page #15. Also, having a copy of the will made from the original will cost you probably around $10.
Other Resources: The will can be found through a microfilm through the LDS. However, the copy that we have made from this microfilm is very difficult to read.
What to look for: A readable copy of the will.
