Researching Your Past
Our collection of family genealogies and property documents is small but slowing growing. We invite you to visit our Reading Room during the summer months. See our calendar for dates and times when the Saddlemire Homestead is open.

Researching Deeds in Albany County
Donna Gwin developed a PowerPoint slideshow about her research of one of the houses on the Bicentennial Quilt. She walks you through online and in-person research. She started by talking with a local resident who has a wealth of information and was eager to share it. That's usually a good place to start.
