Local history resources available at the Mendon Library
The Mendon Library has a number of resources available for local history researchers. We maintain either microfiche copies or paper copies of the local newspaper, The Sentinel beginning in August 1882.
A volunteer is compiling an index of births, deaths, and marriages from the pages of The Sentinel. This index covers 1882 through 1895 and is available in the library. You are also invited to review the Monroe County Library databases - Rochester Images and Rochester History, which contain several references to our local community. HeritageQuest is a genealogical database that includes the Federal Censuses, over 25,000 family and local histories, bank and military records, and genealogy from local history sources.
