Town historians are unique to the state of New York. Today Jane interviews Rhinebeck Town Historian Nancy Kelly and Brookhaven Town Historian Barbara Russell. We'll find out what town historians do and how they can be a resource for genealogy research. We'll talk about the state mandate for town historians -- which does not include genealogy -- and how that might impact genealogists when they contact a town historian. Nancy and Barbara will explain what records town historians may keep.
