I have needed to browse other counties, as Orange seems to be randomly stuck in other places.

One must be looking for familiar names and not trust indexes.<br /><br />In addition, FamilySearch has similar file-naming and waypoint problems for estate and land records. The NYG&BS's _New York Researcher_ magazine recently has excellent articles with the gory details, for NY. Doubtless similar problems occur for other places.<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-3383739246570018922016-04-11T17:29:47.551-07:002016-04-11T17:29:47.551-07:00Been having my own adventures in NY state--after y...Been having my own adventures in NY state--after your last blog on a similar subject, I went browsing and found a guardianship record for my 3 gggrandfather's brother. He died intestate in 1842 and the admin. papers for that were correctly indexed. But since he had at least 3 minor children, I browsed and found the guardianship record, including the three children I was pretty sure were his (they were listed with their mother who had remarried by 1850). A fourth child (aged 15) was living with another family (now doing FAN research on them) nearby. The guardianship record listed these four children, plus two other daughters. Thank you for the heads-up on this.Wonderland Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18255876297300114284noreply@blogger.com
