David,
Can I assume by your message you are planning to visit
the area? If so, I would recommend the Lee-Whedon Library
in Medina on West Ave. In their reading room they have
census transcriptions, cemeteries, town directories, etc.
If you let me know your plans, I might be able to make
a few more suggestions.
Also in Batavia, not too far away, is the Holland Land Office
Museum.
