The Family History Library has few records about the Hudson Valley manors. However, it does have the Livingston Family Papers, 1630–1929, from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park (Family History Library films 1421078–90). The library also has a helpful index, ''Van Rensselaer Manor Papers'', published about 1990 (Family History Library book 974.7 R2r; film 1697716). This manor was located in what is now Albany and Rensselaer Counties. The original records are at the New York State Library. | The Family History Library has few records about the Hudson Valley manors.
