As a break, if you like mysteries, then these will surely interest you. However you need to start with the first one as the series builds on the previous story. It's main character is Inspector Gamache in Quebec and if you are in the least bit a Francophone the mystery as well as the culture and social life will fascinate you. Here are a couple of reviews on the newest book in the series, enjoy, Jim.

Richard,
New York is difficult to do research, I finally ended up going there to find my connection.
LAVANWAY is no doubt a corruption for LIVERNOIS, which is a very common dit name for BENOIT, however it is also a dit name for MELOCHE. In fact my LIVERNOIS came from northern NY (Clinton Co.) and also used the name MILLER, which was no doubt a corruption of MELOCHE. This is probably your family as my also come from Ellenburg. Some of the church records have been published for the area so you might want to check those.
There is also a genealogy society which posts queries in their publication "Lifelines" which may be useful. I will check what I have, but did not collect that much extra on the MELOCHE-LIVERNOIS-MILLER, mainly my direct line. Good luck.
