  OLD  WILLS  OF  SCHUYLER  COUNTY, NY  AREA - A thru G
H thru R           S thru Z
*
These wills were discovered some years ago in the Schuyler co., NY Courthouse
in very old books in a corner.  They were hand-written on old paper and
do not appear in the regular indexed lists of wills at the courthouse.
Extracts of  the genealogy info from these wills was hand-copied by
Helena Howard as exactly as possible;  many spellings were slightly different from other
records, but none were altered.  Helena does not think these are available for photo-copying, except possibly from the original county where the will was filed.
