I have added direct links to searches for specific families to the expanded family pages in the Schenectady Digital History Archive. This continues an effort begun in the summer of 2004 to provide enhanced resources for certain families about which I have added enough information to separate them on to their own pages. In addition to linking to specific sections in the Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs, History of the Schenectady Patent, First Settlers of Schenectady and other standard works, I have also included direct links to: * E-mail groups and message boards * City directory listings * Census listings * Revolutionary War service records in History of Schenectady During the Revolution (Hanson) * Civil War service records in Schenectady County: Its History (Yates) * Ancestry World Tree * Social Security Death Index * Ellis Island records * LDS records at Family Search.org * Rootsweb Surname List * NYS Historical Association library catalog as well as print resources in the collection of the Schenectady County Public Library. Families with individual pages now include Bradt/Bratt, Clute, Fonda, Sanders, Schermerhorn, Van Antwerp, Van Patten, Van Vranken and Veeder. Others will be added as time permits. For a list of all families, see: <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/families/> Bob Sullivan <rsullivan@sals.edu> Schenectady County Public Library (NY) <http://www.scpl.org/> Schenectady Digital History Archive <http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/>

NEW YORKERS AND THE MILITARY: From the Colonial Era through World War II A Conference for Genealogists and Historians November 10 - 12, 2005 at the Gideon-Putnam Hotel, Saratoga Springs, NY The New York Genealogical & Biographical Society will host "New Yorkers and the Military" a two-day conference which will cover the time period from the colonial militia of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the state militia/national guard, and the major wars from the American Revolution up through World War II. Discussions will be offered not only on how to find service, pension, personnel, and draft records of soldiers, sailors, officers, and various support personnel, but there will be presentations about New York's history as impacted by things military, both in war and peace time. And to put an individual or group of interest in historical context, you will have the opportunity to learn what is was like to be a soldier-in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I. We are very pleased to announce a special appearance by the Archivist of the United States Dr. Allen Weinstein. Dr. Weinstein, will be presenting the banquet address. Our featured speaker, Marie Varrelman Melchiori, CGRS, CGL, is a full-time professional genealogist specializing in Union and Confederate records held at the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

One of the sons of Ebenezer(5) and Esther (Braman) Herrick was named Dennison Herrick. His date of birth is not known by me but it may have been about 1779 and occurred in MA, perhaps Westfield. The first I have found him is in the 1800 census in Middletown, VT along with his two brothers, David and Daniel, and his sister, Phebe, who was married to Silas Rudd. The 1800 census listing shows him as between 16-26 with a female 45 and over. I believe the female is probably his mother. From various sources (not primary except for the censuses) on the internet I have found that he was married to Lucy Sweet, probably in NY State. The 1810 census has a D. Herrick in Oneida County (town not known by me) with two males under 10, one male 26-45, one female under 10 and one female 26-45. In 1820 there is a Denison Herrick in Catharine, Tioga Co., NY with one male under 10, one male 16-25, one male 26-45, one female 10-16, one female 26-45. In 1830 there is a Denison Herrick in Catlin, Tioga Co., NY with one male 15-20, one male 50-60, one female 20-30, and one female 50-60. In 1840 there is a D. Herrick in Prattsburgh, Steuben Co., NY, one male under 5, one male 6-70 and one male 90-100, one female 20-30 and one female 6-70. The elderly male in the 1840 census is Jonathan Sweet, father of Lucy Sweet, the wife of Dennison Herrick. One listing I have found on the internet for this family gives Dennison and Lucy a son Frank Dennison Herrick, born in NY. He married Delilah Bagley, March 1838, daughter of John Bagley and Hannah. Frank and Delilah Bagley had a son, Dennison Herrick born 17 March 1839 in Steuben County, NY and died 2 July 1882. This Dennison was married to Marion Loraine Howe. Dennison and Marion had a son Frank Dennison Herrick who was born 8 Oct. 1878 in Wellington, Sumner Co., KS and died 13 Jan. 1941 in Pueblo, CO. They had three children, Marion, Glenn and Frank Dennison Herrick, Jr. Does anyone recognize any of these people so that they can add more to the line? And convince me that this is the line of Dennison Herrick, son of Ebenezer and Esther (Braman) Herrick? I have a bit more information on some of the people mentioned above if you are interested. Thanks, Joann Nichols

Hi, I had this happen. I found an old newspaper article from about 1910 or so saying my ggg aunt had been dug up from an old cemetery in the city and they moved the bodies to Hart Island/Potter's Field. I have tried to contact the people in charge of the Island but they have not written me back. Lisa From: "Jan Miller" <jgrellim@sbcglobal.net> To: GEN-NYS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Old NYC Burials/Removals Does the City of New York have a listing of the cemeteries that no longer exist? For example--someone dies in Old New York, 1839; was buried at that time. Where would he be buried? And obviously, as skyscrapers were erected and removals occurred, where were those cemeteries moved? What happened as removals were made prior to excavation for building? Does the Municipal Archives hold those records? Archived to the State? This is a hard question, and I will appreciate ANY help.

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE: PROMINENT CITIZENS OF TROY, NEW YORK AND RENSSELAER COUNTY, NEW YORK This message is being sent to: Rensselaer County List Troy Irish Genealogy Society List Albany County List Saratoga County List Schenectady County List Genealogy-NYS List Irish-NY-Troy List NY Irish List Chenango County List NY-Hudson River List NY-Old-News List NY-Rollcall List NY-Mohawk-Valley List NY-Warren-Washington-Saratoga County List The message can be forwarded to other lists where you feel it would be appropriate. If posted to any other lists, please copy me at: seamus@nycap.rr.com If you are researching relatives with a TROY, NY area connection, you will be interested in this new on-line, name searchable, data base of almost 1,800 records of prominent Troy and Rensselaer County, New York residents. This data base was extracted from Volume III of the three volume set, Troy and Rensselaer County, New York: A History by Rutherford Hayner printed in 1925. I would be interested in hearing from individuals who found this new data base on prominent citizens useful in locating their relatives. You can write me off list at: seamus@nycap.rr.com Thanks to Joan Howe, a Troy Irish Genealogy member from Iowa, for transcribing this data. This volume also contains biographies, family histories and photographs. Joan has volunteered to do lookups. If your relative's names is listed in the volume, contact joanhowe@earthlink.net and she will email you a jpg file of the information. These records cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. The information in this data base may include: Date of birth. Place of birth. Date of marriage. Place of marriage. Names of parent's. Name of spouse Names of spouses parent's. Names of businesses connected to the individual. Indication if photograph is in book. Indication if family history is in book. Notes like Civil War service, Mexican War service, etc. Many of the birth and marriage dates listed predate the 1880 law requiring reporting of such information. A quick scan of the data shows births and marriages from cities, towns, villages, etc., throughout the entire area of New York State. In addition, a large number of entries also cover births and marriages occurring in the following countries or states: Canada England Germany Holland Italy Ireland Scotland Alabama Connecticut Kentucky Illinois Iowa Massachusetts Minnesota New Jersey New Hampshire Ohio Pennsylvania Vermont Virginia You can view these records by going to the TIGS website located at: Troy Irish Genealogy Society website http://www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on TIGS PROJECTS. We invite you to explore the TIGS website which has been newly redesigned by Jeanne Keefe, the TIGS Web Master. Here you will find local history articles, resources and genealogy research tips as well as several data bases and a number of interesting Troy Area photographs. Also, you can search your surnames in the following additional records automated by TIGS members and other volunteers: Burden Iron Company Steam Mill Payroll Records. (8,236 names) Troy Area Marriage Records. (1,448 names) Troy Area Death Records. (6,031 names) Index-History of the Troy Police Department. (668 names) Bank Officers in Troy Banks From 1801-1891. (299 names) These data bases are part of a continuing effort by the Troy Irish Genealogy Group to make available on line, Troy area records, that may be of interest to genealogy researchers, especially those outside the Troy area. As previously mentioned, these records are NOT limited to Irish surnames. The above series of records were transcribed by 28 TIGS members and other volunteers. Eighteen of the volunteers were from the Troy area while the other volunteers lived in Massachusetts, Iowa, Utah, North Carolina, Michigan, Maryland and California. We are now in the development stages of a major new project of automating the Rensselaer County marriage index. Our plans are to scan the source documents and send a pdf file as an email attachment to the volunteer workers. Data would then be entered into an excel spread sheet and returned. This index may exceed 30,000 names and we can use a lot more volunteers than the 28 used on the previous projects. If interested in working on this project, please write me off list at: seamus@nycap.rr.com and send me your name, address and telephone number. The number of items to be data entered are minimal as shown by the following examples taken from the index: Surname ABEL Given Name JOHN C. Volume Number 3 Page Number 125 Marriage Record Number 10249 Marriage Date Oct. 8, 1918 Surname HART Given Name MARGARET. Volume Number 3 Page Number 125 Marriage Record Number 10249 Marriage Date Oct. 8, 1918 (NOTE: There are separate index pages for names of grooms and for names of brides. The ABEL record above was taken from the "A" index page for grooms and the HART record above was taken from the "H" index page for brides. The marriage record number, 10249, is what links these two records together.) Hope you enjoy visiting the Troy Irish Genealogy Website and that you find a relative's name there.
