The Poorhouse Story is a website that educates researchers on this little-known, little-used resource.  Linda Crannell, its coordinator, displays information (as much as she knows and has gathered) across the United States, state by state.  For Washington County, however, she's abstracted a volume of records from 1875-1900 and published them in a book titled, "Portraits of Poverty: History and Abstracts of Inmate Registration Certificates from Washington County, New Yorik."  There is a full name index at her site.  You many find more details by accessing the Washington Co., NY page at www.PoorHouseSstory.com.  Her email address is:  phlady@jump.net.
