A genealogist must have the patience of Job; the curiosity of a cat; the stubbornness of a mule; the eyesight of an eagle; be blessed with the luck of the Irish and have the ability and stamina of a camel to go long hours without food or drink." (The Herald, Vol. 18, No. 3 & 4; 1995)

Addison County Town Clerks

Town records are open to the public without any qualification as far as we are aware. Every town clerk maintains birth, death and marriage vital statistics as well as a raft of other records of value in researching your ancestors. You may be charged $2 an hour to view them. On a number of occasions we have sent a particular query to a town clerk with an SASE and have gotten back helpful responses. Town Meetin' time might be a little dicey, however. [If you can update any of this information...please do so as this list is a couple of years old.]
