Holdings
Binders of nearly complete cemetery records transcribed from existing tombstones by Thurman Bishop, Jr. (earlier cemetery records were lost in a fire). There are family folders and incomplete birth and marriage records. There are school records (trustee and commissioner reports, etc.) which contain names of teachers and other adults, but apparently not of students. There are some records put together for the period around 1892 when NY did a skimpy census that missed most rural communities like Westerlo. There are some earlier census information as well (no microfilms). There is information from a 1916 farm directory.
Research Fees: Requests for information are turned over to the Town Historian.
