      Subject: Cornelia Walts birth record

      Hello,

      I am looking for a birth record of one of my ancestors: Cornelia Walts. She was born in June of 1860, Alexandria, Jefferson County, New York.
      I believe her mother's name was Margaret Van Brocklin. I do not know the father's name, but his surname was Walts.
      Does your office have birth records for that time period?
      If not, what is the closest Catholic parish in Alexandria to check their birth registers?

      Please advise.

      Thank you!

      Sincerely,


      Paul F. Kelly

      Paul,
      I spoke on the phone with you this morning regarding your desire to search for information on a relative Cornelia Walts. I have been unable to get to this task today but will do a search for the information next week when I am back in the office. I did not want you to think that I was ignoring your request.
