Hello everyone. Does anyone have a directory for Watertown for the 1918 period and could tell me if there is a McIntosh living at 535 Lamon St. Also, does anyone have access to the 1910 Census index for Watertown to check for a McIntosh, Alfred or Iva. Many thanks. Joan

http://www.sampubco.com/ The site had been revamped for further expansion. The pulldown menus are now incorporated into each and every index list for ease of lookups. And the specific index list links are now incorporated into each state list of counties, eliminating the middle gateways. Now to load up the new volumes. The last load of volumes was way back last January. Questions are welcome. David Samuelsen SAMPUBCO

Good afternoon; I am seeking any information on, Mary THORNTON, married Michael Halenbeck 1765 Rachael THORNTON, married Jacob Ten Eyck 1760 Thank you Slainte' Bill http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/h/a/l/William-G-Hall/index.html?Welcome=1014260587

My g-grandfather's date of naturalization was Oct. 12, 1876. I would like to get a copy of his declaration of intentions. Would I look under the date 1870, the date he arrived in America or would I would I look under the naturalization date of 1876. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you, Barb

----- Original Message ----- > To: <[email protected]: > > Hi Listers, I spent the morning at the LDS history center trying to find where my GGGGrandfather was born in Ireland. I was told to visit the Center because they could help me with his naturalization papers which would surely give me much information. I was told by the kind gentleman there that he was just born too early to be found. There must be some way to find out! His name was Andrew Cannon, Born in 1785 in Ireland, married to Catherine ???, also born in Ireland in 1782, They lived in the county of Eastchester on a farm, until their deaths in 1854 and 1855. They are now buried in the cemetary of St. Paul's Church in Mount Vernon along with six of their children. One of the sons, James, b 1805, d,1856 is the father of John, b.1847 who moved with his mother, Rhoda Barton Cannon, b. 1810. to Newark, NJ. He eventually married and had 2 children, one of whom was my grandfather, we called his sister Aunt Belle, but I don't know her married name, and as far as I know she lived and died in Long Branch, NJ. The rest of us all wound up in Atlantic City, NJ. Suggestions sincerely appreciated. Thank You Kindly, Joan Cannon Martin. > more > > ==== > GEN-NYS Mailing List ==== > Have you seen the USGenWeb New York Page? > http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenweb/ > >

Hello all, To those of you who are residents of NY State, the Association of Public Historians of New York State (APHNYS) has some things in the works that you may be interested in. The 3rd of these things will effect the services you enjoy from the State Archives and Library. 1) We passed a resolution last fall to document the effects of September 11th within our own communities. This can be stories of your reactions, what you told your children, their drawings, any fund raising events you held, if you served at ground zero, etc. So if you have anything to share please pass it along to your local NY municipal historian. 2) We also passed 2 resolutions at our spring conference. One is in support of the appointment of a State Historian, a position that has been left vacant for a number of years. 3) Also a resolution in opposition of the governors plan to have NY form an institute called NYICE. This is not a good thing and will effect your ability to collect and preserve history. They want to do away with the Office of Cultural Education, then take the State Archives, State Library, State Museum and Public Broadcasting out of the State Education Dept. and glump them into this new thing called New York State Institute of Cultural Education (NYICE). The money they plan to use to fund this will come from the Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund. The money that goes into this fund comes from various documents that get filed in the county clerks office. As you know there are certain filing fees, which the state intends to quadruple! By LAW the money that goes into that fund is for Records Management Grants (Sara grants), Documentary Heritage Program (grants) , and the State Archives Trust, and is to be used for nothing else. BUT thats what the governor wants to use for NYICE. Basically there will be little to nothing for grants if they do this, which is bad for researchers as well. This is how we get funded for a lot of the wonderful things you pour through to do your genealogy. It will also have an effect on services from the Archives, Museum and Library. Bad stuff. If your organization wishes to oppose this (As many are, as well as several municipalities) I suggest a resolution and send it to your Senator and the governor. If you are a resident, a letter will be just as good. They plan to have this take effect July 1, 2002! You can see what we did, at our web site off the main page (middle right). The web address is http://www.tier.net/aphnys I put both our resolutions on the website if you need ideas. To find your senator go to: http://www.senate.state.ny.us/ There is a link called "senators" on the left to do a look-up. Just thought I'd pass that along. Us history folk don't like to hear our services are getting chopped up or axed all together! Thank you for your time............

Hi Listers, Hope this is appropriate for the list -- but for those interested in Otsego County histories, etc. -- there are three listings on E-Bay which might be of interest to someone. It is being said that the Christ Church of Cooperstown Record - 1811-1899 is a real goodie. Here are the numbers of the listings: Historic Records of Christ Church 1811 - 1899 - Cooperstown NY (ebay item #1530367979) History of Oneonta - Dudley Campbell 1905 First edition (ebay item #1530370010) Historic Cherry Valley - by Hilda Streeter 1926 (ebay item #1530373537) I apologize if this is considered inappropriate for the list -- but I know I'm always very pleased when someone points out E-Bay items -- I just don't have the time to spend over in E-Bay looking for new items.

He drove a wagon team of horses, probably making deliveries over a distance. The modern Teamsters Union still uses the horse logo even though they do it by truck.

http://www.sampubco.com/ It is easier to go to the home page first because of reorganization to enable me to add guardianship and naturalization indexes later on. And a new feature is being worked in to make it easier for you to check volume lists. They will be in pulldown menu instead of having to go to different page for the same information. This will take time to work in over about 3 weeks or less. Only New York County at present will not have a pulldown menu due to sheer number of volumes. Permission is granted to circulate to county lists where appropriate, unedited. W. David Samuelsen SAMPUBCO
