Hi, Everyone.. Does anyone know if there is a cemetery associated with the Albany VA Hospital? If so, what would the name of it be and where is it located? Thanks a lot... Susan

Need to find family of Anna BRADLEY who married ca 1824 Martin WELCH of New York. All census records of family and her children say she was b VT ca 1801 -- Town and County unknown.. I believe, but have not proven yet, that they resided in Tompkins County NY before removing to Crawford County, PA about 1836. Other BRADLEY families living in Crawford County were Obed BRADLEY and Hiram BRADLEY. I do not know if they were related. Dan Burrows

Mary - You don't say where you live so here's a possible solution for locating an obituary in the New York Herald. The New York State Library in Albany, NY has a fantastic collection of newspapers on microfilm covering most of New York State as well as other American cities and towns and major cities abroad. The catalog <http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/nygcty.htm> lists the following: New York herald (New York, N.Y. : 1840) OCLC: #09467138 Published: 1840-1920 Frequency: Daily Microfilm: s={1840:9:20-1919:12} Call number: NY 01 New York 93-31979 The microfilm can be borrowed by you via your public library's interlibrary loan program. If you reside in New York State, the loan of the microfilm is free. As of July 1, 1998, the New York State Library charges for all filled out-of-state and foreign interlibrary loan requests. The charge is a base fee of $10.00 for all filled ILL requests. The New York State Library bills for shipping charges for out-of-country requests. I believe you can get up to five reels of film per title per consecutive dates (for example, if the New York Herald was filmed one month per reel, you could borrow the reels for January, February, March, April and May 1862 for $10). However, if you are looking for five different dates (e.g. May 1870, June 1871, July 1872, August 1873 and September 1874), this might incur a loan charge of $50.00 because the dates are not consecutive. The State Library in Albany is worth a visit as they own a very extensive genealogy collection <http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/gengen.htm> > Subject: obituaries from the New York Herald > Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 19:37:42 -0400 > From: Mary Guler <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > > Does anyone have experience with ordering obituaries published in the New > York Herald from a James P Maher of Alexandria, VA?

I have been having a problem in trying to get a place and date of death for the first wife of Seth Allen [Seth was born 1703, died 1790 possibly in Charlotte, Dutchess, NY.] The first wife, Elizabeth Butler, was born 1707 in Sandwich, Barnstable, MA and died before 04 Oct 1741 Mass/NY/?, when Seth re-married to Anne Whitely on 04 Oct 1741 in Charlotte, Dutchess, NY. The last time I received information it was from Quaker records which I do not have access to. Perhaps the information I need on Elizabeth Butler is in Quaker records - or not? Has anyone done research on this particular phase of the Allen/Butler/Whitely families? Does anyone have information on the death of Elizabeth Butler Allen, from any source?

Please go look at the web site. There are several counties that you can access from this page and they are abstracted the indexes completely, not only for people who were Jewish.

Judi This is great information, and thank you for sharing it with us. However, if our connections are neither Jewish nor military, we need other sources. I would love to see ALL naturalization indexes online. Having followed many leads to dead ends, I know that information can show up in quite unexpected places, so let's lobby for ALL of them, if this is possible. One never knows where a little jewel is buried.

Not to take anything away from W David Samuelsen and his terrific service, but there are already some naturalization indexes online for NYS that you may not be aware of. Please check here: http://www.jgsny.org/nynats.htm There are also military naturalizations indexes online here: http://www.italiangen.org/military_records_intro.stm To quote from their web site: The Italian Genealogical Group, along with members German Genealogy Group, the Jewish Genealogical Society of Long Island and the Irish History Forum, are involved in an ongoing project to computerize an index to naturalization records processed in military camps. At this time the project only encompasses the New York Tri-State Area, but new records will be included as they become available. This military database consists of over 36,000 individuals from all over the country. Among these records are names of military personnel who petitioned the government for citizenship while at various military camps. They were situated in the New York Tri-State Area. There were thousands of men trained at these locations and while the majority of the men were from the New York metropolitan area, there were also many from as far away as the states of California and Washington. Again, this is not to take anything away from Mr. Samuelsen. There are many more indexes he could put on his web site which have never been done. I would just like to recognize the dedication and hard work of the volunteers of the various genealogical societies who have already produced these wonderful indexes for us to use. As they say, why reinvent the wheel? Judi Boniface Herkimer, NY [email protected]

Hello, I would like to see Petitions for Naturalization (almost exclusively after 1906)..but...whatever the majority wants is fine...there will be something for everyone regardless!

Would very much like to have Declarations of Intentions before 1906 for New York, especially Westchester County.
