In a review of New York
State Towns, Villages, and Cities, Marsha H. Rising, CG, FASG, said:
"No one knows New York
research better than Gordon Remington. In this compact book,
formatted in easy-to-use tables of New York towns and their records,
Remington provides more pertinent information for the genealogical
researcher than most 200 page texts. Difficult New York research
will become much easier now that this guide is available.”
