Questions pertain to a Rev. War pensioner, NY Line 1777. I hope someone knows the answer to these questions. 1. Did this Act require that a petitioner for a Revolutionary War pension must return to the state and/or county in which he served in order to file the petition? 2. A 1937 letter written to a Mrs. Mary Hite of Mullen, Nebraska says, " In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the name and address of person paid...you should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data: Name, Certificate No 463 Issue date, June 20, 1843 Rate, 37.77 per annum Commence date, March 4, 1843 Act of March 3, 1843, New York Agency." This letter is signed by A. D. Miller, Executive Assistant to the Administrator. The problem is, there is no letterhead address, no referral address and unfortunately no envelope. This letter was included with the copy of a Rev. War pension that was granted and copied for me at the NARA, Washington. The other problem is, the applicant became a widow of the pensioner in 1835. She gives that date in her petition. By "commence date, 1843" she would have been 82 and that is a long interval to take to file for continuance of a pension following decease of the pensioner in June 1835. My questions: Who would Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division be today? What city? New York, Albany or Washington, DC? Any known reasons for the interval? (My records tentatively note she died 1843.) II would appreciate help from someone better versed in the military legalities of pension procedures. thank you Jan

This is posted with permission from the Rensslaer list..... In the mail today, I received a photocopy of pages 13-14 of what I was told was Governor Pataki's proposed budget. It is dated 1/25/03 and relates to vital records certificates. It was sent from the office of the New York Senate Majority Leader, Joseph Bruno. In the quote below, the square brackets enclose the old price. The new price was underlined, but underlining will not appear in a RootsWeb email, so I have put the new price between asterisks. "For any search of the files and records conducted for authorized genealogical or research purposes, the commissioner or any person authorized by him shall be entitled to, and the applicant shall pay, a fee of [ten] *twenty* dollars for each hour or fractional part of an hour of time of search, together with a fee of [one dollar] *two dollars* for each uncertified copy or abstract of such record requested by the applicant or for a certification that a search discloses no record." There was also information about certified certificates. The following is a summary of information concerning both kinds of vital records certificates: ** Uncertified vital records certificates (for genealogical purposes) - current $11 fee will become $22 ** Certified vital records certificates - current $15 fee will become $30 These are only proposed changes, but I can see no reason why they won't be accepted. This change will only directly affect the state's fees, but since almost all towns, villages and cities presently charge the same fee as the state, I suspect that they will quickly raise their rates as well. I feel certain that those people who have already submitted applications for vital records certificates (birth, marriage, or death) to the NYS Health Dept. will not be affected by the increase, even though there may be the usual long wait before the certificates arrive (local communities send certificate very quickly). Also, I believe that any application postmarked (or possibly received) before the passage of the next budget will be accepted at the current lower fee. The new budget is due to go into effect April 1, but the state has not passed a budget on time for over a decade. The law may make the change effective immediately upon passage, or the Health Dept. might be given a short time to prepare new forms and rewrite online webpages. It is very unlikely that it would be made retroactive to April 1. Permission to forward this email to other mailing lists is hereby granted, as long as the entire message is forwarded. I would appreciate a note from the list administrator of any mailing list that receives this email. I am just curious how far a message might go when originally sent to four mailing lists.

The child is Nancy Jane Merritt and I believe she was born about 1813-1815. The family lived in Marlborough Town, Ulster Co., but I've found some references to this church in researching them.

UNUSUAL MILITARY RECORDS IN THE 20TH-CENTURY By Karen Lamberton To Be Held At Orange County Genealogical Society 1841 Historic Courthouse, 101 Main Street Goshen, NY 10924 Saturday, April 5, 2003 So, Dad was in WWII. You grew up listening to the stories. Finding his records should be easy, right? Not if his "jacket" was in the 1973 fire in St. Louis. Your uncle was in the Navy and you have all of his letters home. But where were they sent from? APOs (military post office box addresses) won't tell you and neither would the censor who probably looked at those letters before uncle's wife! And if your grandfather served in the Merchant Marine (the invisible service) the government may deny that he served at all! Learn how to get around these and other impasses in 20th-Century military records. Who knows, your next research letter may just be to the KGB! Yes, that is a legitimate research venue, although not the easiest! We will look at three case studies and the sources they revealed. About our speaker Karen Lamberton has been a Quality Control Manager for 25 years, and a Technical Writer for the past five. During the last 15 years, she has also pursued her family's history in Germany, Scotland, Ireland, and the United States. The majority of her time has been spent tracing nineteenth century immigrants to America and twentieth century military records. In her presentation "Non-traditional sources for 20th-Century Military Records", Ms. Lamberton discusses what records are available (briefly) through the military's record section; then delves into other ways and means for filling in records when the official "jacket" is AWOL. If you ever wanted to feel like a spy, without the physical danger, here's your chance!   Ms Lamberton is a member of the Genealogical Society of Rockland County, the German Genealogy Group, and the Chicago Genealogy Society.   For more information or if you have any questions please contact Marilyn Terry at (845) 562-2749 or via email at mvtgrterry@aol.com MEETING AND PROGRAM ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

From New York Genealogical Research by George Schweitzer, 1988 Marriage Records During the Dutch period of New Amsterdam (1609-64), the recording of marriages was left to the state church, the Dutch Reformed Church. When the English took over in 1664, the official church became the Anglican Church or the Church of England. The accepted procedure for marriage involved the posting of banns (announcements) at the church on three Sundays prior to the wedding. For those who chose not to do this, the procurement of a marriage license and/or posting of a marriage bond with the civil authorities was required, although there was apparently much laxity in enforcement, especially on the frontier. In some counties which had been settled early by New Englanders, the town minutes often contained marriage records, as was the New England custom, but his practice gradually declined. Following the Revolutionary War and the demise of a state church, very few marriage records were kept by governmental authorities. Many of the fragmentary surviving marriage records before 1784 have been listed and/or abstracted in the following volumes: --K. Scott, MARRIAGE BONDS OF COLONIAL NY, 1753-84, Trumbull Publishing Co., New York, NY. 4000 items. --NAMES OF PERSONS FOR WHOM MARRIAGE LICENSES WERE ISSUED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE PROVINCE OF NY PREVIOUS TO 1784, Genealogical Publishing Co., Baltimore, MD, 1860 (1968). 25,000 names. --MARRIAGES FROM 1639-1801 IN THE REFORMED DUTCH CHURCH, NEW AMSTERDAM/NEW YORK CITY, NY Genealogical and Biographical Society, New York, NY, 1940 -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002

As most of you know, a group of us have been transcribing the Troy, New Rochelle and Yonkers censuses for almost three years now. We finished the 1880 Troy census and ongoing are the 1870 Yonkers, 1870 New Rochelle and 1900 Troy census. Today there are 30 transcribers working. When we started in the Fall of 1999 we had a core of 10-15 transcribers and there are still 5 of them working diligently to get the censuses transcribed so all those from the far reaches of the world can have free access and will hopefully find their ancestors. In this project everyone, including myself, works at their own pace. Some do a page a month, some do a page a week, some do a page a day and others, like one particular individual do two pages a day! I want everyone to know about Bob McConihe who lives outside of Boston MA. He has been doing at least two pages a day for about two and a half years. Yesterday, he informed me he had finished his 1,000 page! This man deserves congratulations and thanks from all of us for being so dedicated and for giving up his time every day to help others. Thank you Bob. It is people like Bob who make this genealogy community so wonderful. When I asked Bob, if it was okay for me to mention on the mailing list about him completing 1,000 pages, this is what he wrote back to me: > It is certainly OK for you to mention my 1000 pages, I am happy to >have been able to last this long.

I got it by return mail!! But, of course, every success brings new questions. In this case, there is no information known about husband's, father's, or mother's name. The age is pretty close to the person I'm seeking and the birthplace is within the realm of possibility. So now the questions. The information that is on the transcript says she died (in 1887) at Marshall Infirmary in Troy and that she was buried at Mt. Ida Cemetery. I looked on-line for burials at Mt. Ida and found that only Old Mt. Ida has listings and she's not there. I saw that there is a New Mt. Ida, but don't know when it was established. Would a person who died in 1887 be likely to be at the New Mt. Ida? And if so, does anyone have an address for it? And what kind of place was Marshall Infirmary? Was it a regular medical clinic/ hospital or a sanitarium of some sort? Any insight greatly appreciated! Joy -- Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.
