Genealogical and Historical Societies

Pulaski Historical Society does have a newsletter although it does not publish genealogical information.
They do, however, try to assist whenever anyone asks questions of family history.

Cemetery and Newspaper Research.  From Julie Robst, June 30, 2002:
     I am in Oswego County and am very involved in research here and in a few other counties in New York.  I have done actual inventories (not copies of the information written down 20-30 years ago) of several cemeteries.  At the present time, I have the following: the Daysville Cemetery in Richland twp (Pulaski), North Boylston in Boylston twp, South Richland in Pulaski (still know by us 'old timers' as the Willis Cemetery), McClelland Cemetery in Richland and the Holmes Family Cemetery in Richland.  I have also transcribed "History of Oswego County, 1789- 1877" published in 1911.  Also, newspaper articles written by Rev. Jesse H. Jones as published in the Pulaski Democrat from September 12, 1900 to August 6, 1902 and "Local History - Beginning with Oswego County and Leading up to Pulaski Village" by B.G. Seamans which was printed in the Pulaski Democrat from January 24, 1923 to May 1923.
     Anyone interested in these cemeteries and newspaper articles may contact Julie at KeeperOfTheTree@aol.com
