I came here to do some family history research. The ancestors in this area are as far back as I have gotten for that family line (tree branch). Catskill is the county seat for Greene County NY. They have a library. However, the expert genealogy library only works on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I was there on a Monday. The guy who handles the youth portion of the collection gave it his best shot -- he was more than willing to help -- but I think he learned more about his collection than I learned about my family.
