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.
Western N.Y. Historical
Society Collection
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.

begin. In addition to the many, many books there, the following
needs to be looked for:
"Sabbath Register" or "Sabbath
Recorder" - (The "Alfred Sun" didn't start
publishing until Dec. 1883, so if the SDB newspapers will have to
be searched for these articles.)

Mary R. Moland's obit (prob. sometime around
1854-1855)
