Anyway, do you know of any comprehensive (heh) STORM genealogy
where one could look for "hooks"? I am further hampered by
the fact that my local library has the habit of withdrawing
from the shelf any volume of the NY Gen & Biog Reg that shows
any sign of wear and tear, in order to preserve it for future
users, who of course then can't use it.
Any DAILEY/DALEY/DAYLY stuff you encounter east of the river,
I'll grab happily. Anything of yours I should be looking for
in my counties? (Ulster, Orange, Onondaga.)
