Hi Marty, Chemung Co.'s Board of Supervisors yearly meetings when published in book form and also the daily activities were also published in the newspapers. The meetings were held in Nov. and continued until all the business of the county was finished. What a lot of information and history is on those books. We have quite a few of the books in the Erin Historical Society's Museum in Erin, Chemung Co., NY. I have used them for research for Erin. Also think they have the books in the Steele Memorial Library in Elmira. Don't know if the county historical society have any.

Folks, Did your county publish anything like "Board of Supervisors Reports"? If so, I'd like to hear about it. So far the only ones I know of are Orange and Otsego counties. I don't know how many or which counties of New York published something similar to the "Board of Supervisors Reports" that were published in Orange County for over a century. Digging through them it was discovered that they contained coroners' reports (who, when, where and why they died) and lists of orphans in orphans homes or similar facilities (schools for the deaf, etc). A volunteer indexed them for Orange County, and am wondering if anyone in other counties has done so. Number Type From To 6,016 Coroner's reports 1905 - 1950 8,671 Orphans 1861 - 1934 Coroners were called in only for unusual deaths (murder, suicide, drowning, etc...where no doctor was present at the time of death). If anyone needs to check on an UNUSUAL death or an orphan in Orange County during those years, I can check the indexes for you. If outside of those years, I can't help you. Please keep your requests very brief...just the type (coroners' report or orphan), full name and year...one line per person. Put "Coroners lookup" or "orphan lookup" in the subject, please. If your county published similar reports each year, you also might find genealogical information like this in them... but not necessarily for all years. These indexes have helped quite a few Orange County researchers. I hope this helps someone and/or some NY genealogical society.

PS: great great grandfather John F IRONS.... b. 1811 "somewhere"....possibly Otsego County NY.... m. 1834 Hartwick, Otsego, NY d. 1854 Cazenovia, Madison, NY.... please stand up on that brick wall and yell out the names I've sought for 12 years....LOUDER! Who were your parents? Were they from RI? Where were you born? Was it Otsego County NY? Did you have a brother named Orlando? Who were your other siblings?

I have just returned from a week in New York. For off-beat Christmas sights (and sites), I recommend the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden (Metro North train from Grand Central) and the Christmas tree at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (212-535-7710 at 1000 Fifth Avenue). The more adventurous might enjoy the outdoor light display at the Bronx Zoo (718-367-1010 - Number 2 subway). The Public Library at Lincoln Center (65th at Columbus) currently has an interesting exhibit on vaudeville (it's not a Chistmas display, but it's free and warm). Visit the Metrpolitan Opera while you are there. The St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church (157 Montague Street, Brooklyn - (718) 875-6960) has free organ concerts at 1:10 every Wednesday afternoon. The 1924 Skinner pipe organ is beautiful. The fare for the busses and subways is now $1 (instead of $2) through the holidays. Pick up free maps at Grand Central. -- Bill Martin -- On Sat, Nov 26, 2005 at 09:02:38AM -0500, Bill & Cathy McGrath wrote: > If anyone is interested, I have a thirteen page write up on selected New York City sights that can be sent to you as an attachment. > > The listing covers 47 areas of interest (museums, Christmas window displays outlining this year's themes, famous buildings, interesting restaurants, impressive hotel lobbies, new attractions in New York - The Pond at Bryant Park and The Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center, etc.) and is arranged in descending order from 104th Street to 12th Street..

Walter I forwarded this message to the others in my genealogy group. While they don't all have personal research involving the NY Metro area, they ARE all involved with Revolutionary history in one way or another.

On November 25, 1783, the British Army boarded their naval vessels and evacuated New York City (then coterminous with New York County), their wartime headquarters and their last military position in the United States during the Revolutionary War. As they sailed away in retreat through the Narrows separating Long Island and Staten Island, the last thing they saw, as their ships sunk below the horizon, was the Flag of the United States of America flying atop the Liberty Pole (an extended flag pole) in the frontyard of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Hamlet of New Utrecht, Town of New Utrecht, Kings County. Today this is at 18th Avenue and Liberty Pole Boulevard (84th Street) in the neighborhood of Bensonhurst in the Borough of Brooklyn (Kings County), New York City. Replaced six times over the years, the 106' Liberty Pole is the last remaining Liberty Pole in the original thirteen United States. On top of the Pole is the original eagle and weathervane. The eagle is made of wood and has a 5' wingspan. After two hundred and twenty-two years, the weather has weakened it considerably and it has been reinforced with iron bands. Here's the URL for the New Utrecht Liberty Pole Association: http://www.historicnewutrecht.org/LPA.html Here's the URL for the Dutch Reformed Church: http://www.newutrechtchurch.org/ I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.

I have several members in my family tree named IDE. However, they were in Spafford, Onondaga County, NY. My great great grandfather's sister, Mary OLMSTED, married Francis IDE in 1860. He was born in 1837 in Spafford, the son of Henry and Harriet (COLTON) IDE. Henry's parents were Rogers and Ester IDE. I have no birth places or dates for them, except for Ester's death date. Mary OLMSTED was born in Hope, Montgomery CO., NY (north of Fonda and Amsterdam) , so she may have known Francis IDE before her parents removed to Onondaga Co. Other given names were Grant, Francis, Hattie, Hortense, Mary Jane, and Blanche IDE.

I plan on checking out that Troy Irish genealogy website. I do believe my Harris Ide was connected to the Ides you mention, but have not yet found the connection. The Troy Ides have been well documented, but there is no mention of Harris. I have written to many of the Ides currently living in the area and have gotten encouraging feedback but no evidence of the connection. My Ide family used several of the names that the Troy Ide family used: Orrin and Athel. And they lived in the same area of NY. Those are my clues. The early Ides living in Rensselaer County were Nathan (b. 9-24-1776) and his wife Pervida; Timothy Ide (1820 census); Daniel Ide (1830 census). > > It is indeed a mystery, and I have been stuck for some time. > > Regards, > Linda Wagner > > > > [Original Message] > > From: Bill & Cathy McGrath <seamus@nycap.rr.com> > > To: <GEN-NYS-L@rootsweb.com> > > Date: 11/22/2005 7:38:03 PM > > Subject: Re: Harris Ide, born 10-21-1821 Rensselaer County, NY > > > > Hello Linda: > > > > The Ide name was very prominent in the Troy NY Area. > > > > Two Ide's, George Peck Ide and William Ide are mentioned in two of the data > > bases (Troy Banks and Prominent Citizens of Troy & Rensselaer County) on the > > Troy Irish Genealogy website: > > > > http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ > > > > Also, the book Troy's 100 Years published in 1891 has the following Ide > > names in the index: > > > > Alba M, Ide > > George P.

I am pleased to announce the completion of the third volume of the Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs at the Schenectady Digital History Archive. <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/hmgfm/> Published in 1911 by Cuyler Reynolds, the three volumes available so far contain about a thousand family entries, and the online version has indexes for Albany, Columbia, Fulton, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren and Washington Counties. The fourth and final volume is scheduled for completion in 2007. The Schenectady Digital History Archive is a service of the Schenectady County Public Library.
