ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE BOOK 3 - INTERMENT INDEX ST. AGNES CEMETERY, MENANDS NEW YORK INTERMENT YEARS - 1886-1910 A. Book 3, part of a multi-volume set of Interment Records at St. Agnes Cemetery, Menands, NY, with 11,844 names, has been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy website. You can view these interment records on the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ click on PROJECTS and then click on ST. AGNES CEMETERY, MENANDS, NY - INTERMENT RECORDS. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. B. This data series of interment records shows an individuals name, date of death and age at death. Those records that had no date of death listed are shown with the interment date and are identified by an asterisk (*). Some death dates prior to 1886, are most likely re-interments from the State Street Burial site which was located at the site of present day Washington Park or from another cemetery. C. The age at death may be shown in either years, months and days. In some cases of newborn deaths the age may even be reported in hours or minutes. Around 90 of the records had no age reported. The following age at death statistics may be interesting of this time period when death at an early age was quite common. 1. Under age 1 - 1,754 deaths including 181 stillborns. 2. Age 1-5 - 1,080 deaths. 3. Age 6-10 - 316 deaths. 4. Age 11-16 - 272 deaths. 5. Age 17-20 - 428 deaths. 6. Age 21-29 - 1,318 deaths. 7. Age 30-39 - 1,441 deaths. 8. Age 40-49 - 1,258 deaths. 9.

The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used to request more information from the Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. Mailing instructions and fees (only $5.00) are on the request form. Additional items available from the full interment record MAY include: 1. PLACE OF BIRTH: Information on the place of birth may be very useful to researchers. Out of the 11,844 records in Book 3, only 614 names did not have the place of birth recorded. The following breakdown on the reported place of birth may be of interest: CAPITAL DISTRICT: Albany - 5,522 Watervliet - 177 West Troy - 176 Troy - 148 Cohoes - 58 Greenbush - 34 Colonie - 27 Green Island - 26 Rensselaer - 23 Schenectady - 15 Menands - 15 TOTAL: 6,221 FOREIGN COUNTRIES: Ireland - 4,179 Germany - 116 Canada - 83 England - 63 Italy - 26 France - 15 Scotland - 15 The Netherlands - 4 Switzerland - 3 Austria - 2 Belgium - 1 Cuba - 1 At sea - 1 TOTAL: 4,509 OTHER STATES: Massachusetts - 23 Vermont - 22 Pennsylvania - 16 Connecticut - 9 Wisconsin - 8 New Jersey - 7 Ohio - 4 Rhode Island - 3 South Carolina - 3 Maryland - 3 Illinois - 2 Virginia - 2 District of Columbia - 2 Minnesota - 1 Iowa - 1 West Virginia - 1 California - 1 Washington - 1 North Carolina - 1 Louisiana - 1 New Hampshire - 1 Kentucky - 1 TOTAL: 113 USA-N.Y.CITY-N.Y.STATE: USA - 10 New York City - 85 Brooklyn - 23 N.Y.

PLACE OF DEATH: As would be expected, most of the deaths occurred in the City of Albany. Only 10 of the 11,844 records did not show the place of death. The following statistics on selected locations may be of interest: Albany - 9,550 West Troy - 315 Watervliet - 304 Troy - 286 New York City - 207 Cohoes - 157 Green Island - 68 Poughkeepsie - 61 Greenbush - 45 Colonie - 42 Rensselaer - 39 Menands - 20 3. RESIDENCE ADDRESS: The bulk of these interment records will show a street address with a house number. A lesser number may only show the street name or street intersections while some others may just mention the name of the city where the death occurred. This information may be helpful when doing census research. 4. INTERMENT DATE: The date of interment in St. Agnes Cemetery may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 5. IN WHOSE LOT THEY ARE INTERRED: Most of these entries show the first and last name of lot owners and in some cases show multiple family names as the lot owners. This information may be helpful to genealogy and family researchers as it may identify surname connections to your family that you were unaware of. 6. LOT NUMBER. 7. SECTION NUMBER. Hopefully you will find some of your ancestors listed among the 21,344 names in the three St. Agnes books that are now on line OR in the various other data series on the Troy Irish Genealogy website. Of particular interest to area researchers would be the 60,000 names in the Rensselaer County Marriage Index. An additional 1,972 names will shortly be added to the 6,073 St. Agnes Book 2 records that are on line. Regards, Bill McGrath TIGS Project Coordinator Clifton Park, NY
